I find it hard to believe that this site is the "foulest". As a daily reader I see very little profanity here, and that number certainly surprises me.

BTW, to give credit where credit is due, this guy did this search in response to musings by Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit.

If you look at my post above, I think that the reason our count went up is that in PJ's DU and KOS articles he posts their foul language. The guy's filter wouldn't have told him that the foul language was quotes from another site. The filter was just looking for the seven dirty words anywhere on FR's pages. In those threads we are constantly remarking about how filthy they talk and little did we know that it would end up making us look like the pottymouths.

Helen Thomas pictures must be considered 'profanity.'

You must not be following it as closely as some of us have. Moderators have fought tooth and nail against profanity for years to try and keep it clean here. Some links from various times in the past this has be brought up as an issue...

Do Not Curse and S*** and D*** are not good either.

NO CURSING, NO Vulgarity, NO ABBREVIATIONS either
