Why does WikiAnswers remove questions and answers with curse words or profanity in them?
WikiAnswers is not cruel, however the site does have rules. A big part of those rules is to be non-offensive and tolerant of the mores of others. The least offensive way to enforce this is to not permit profanity on the site.
It is not necessary to convey any idea or concept using curse words or offensive language. The intelligent person finds a way around the use of such.
