That's silly both ways. If someone calls someone else a pu**y, it's a personal attack and they should be warned or whatever. Punish the act not the word.
As for the other, I don't think anyone not offended by fuck, shit etc. is going to be offended by someone saying something like "man the (insert team name) are playing like pu**ies today."
I say censor everything or censor nothing, and punish people using the words in attacks etc, not just ban words.

I would agree in principle...if our time was limitless and we could read every post.

Not that I particularly want to see it, but I'd have to support the OP as a matter of principle.
As for the word "pu**y", it's no more likely to cause an altercation than the words "wuss" or "lame" or any number of other synonyms. "H*m*" is a little more in the gray area, but I think I've seen it censored a lot more being used in a legitimate context than as part of an insult.

Also, I don't think having words censored lessens the number or personal attacks. People just use non-censored words.
I don't see how uncensoring pu**y and other words will lead to an increase in personal attacks.
Pretty faulty logic IMO.
