What's with this "bleep" thing ?

[lakeland27]

the bleep replaces everyday words that we aren't allowed to use. its censorship.

I am finding it off putting when ordinary words are bleeped.  

One that made me wonder was r .a.p.e.!  A member used it recently to discuss something and when I answered I was bleeped for using that word.

Now I agree the action is heinous, but the word isn't and it's an ordinary word, so why was it bleeped?  Odd I say.

Atomic number is 33, the symbol on the periodic table is As, but just try and type **bleep**nic

It is ebay's forum I guess they can bleep whatever they want.

As for everyday words, well, none of mine have ever been bleeped. I suppose that means that some everyday day words are not really used by everyone?
