I'm with badmedia aswell, very clever OP, but it was a play on a common insinuation of the word "bleep". If the OP rather did not type anything but
dots or underscores, I think the message would have been conveyed with more ambiguity and more choice left for the imagination.

How often do you see people post "BLEEP" on the internet to replace a cuss word?
I thought it being posted in this specific forum would have caught the eye of people that have watched "what the bleep do we know" again a reminder
of the placeholder of the original "cuss word".

It was a direct implication. There wasn't much room for error.
Bleep is not the same thing as blank
