That isn't so. Foul language, insults, and illegal activity are snipped. If you're referring to some threads that just seem to disappear I'd recommend spending the points to post on RATS. A lot of "truth" threads go there. Depending on what subject matter you're posting the "truth" about.

Don't jump to conclusions, did you even bother to read the OP? It's not what it appears to be (like many things on ATS)

Heh, I think your idea is entirely correct but perhaps a tad extreme in sentiment.

As you note, it's perfectly understandable that people would interpret the 'bleep' as profanity. Indeed, it's fairly normative (e.g., 'what the 'bleep' do we know'). Add to that the caps, which tends to be interpreted as shouty, then the ambiguity is not so clear and affectively neutral. A shouty person probably using profanity is an obvious interpretation.

There are much better approaches to showing how our pre-existing biases alter our perception under settings of ambiguity.

The turban effect: The influence of Muslim headgear and induced affect on aggressive responses in the shooter bias paradigm

a b s t r a c t
Does Islamic appearance increase aggressive tendencies, and what role does affect play in such responses? In a computer game, participants made rapid decisions to shoot at armed people, some of whom wore Islamic head dress. We predicted and found a significant bias for participants to shoot more at Muslim targets. We also predicted and found that positive mood selectively increased aggressive tendencies
towards Muslims, consistent with affect-cognition theories that predict a more top-down, stereotypical processing style in positive mood. In contrast, induced anger increased the propensity to shoot at all targets. The relevance of these results for our understanding of real-life negative reactions towards Muslims is discussed, and the influence of affective states on rapid aggressive responses is considered.

If anyone wants to test their potential 'implicit' biases, just go to the harvard IAT website and perform a few IATs.
