The point of the profanity filter is that people end up NOT SEEING those words. The profanity filter catches the word, and censors it out in the best way the web team sees fit (-blam!-). If we let people curse and then ban them for cursing, there would be just as many threads (if not, more) about how "If you don't want us to use them, just censor us" as there would be "Why is everything CENSORED?!?!??!".
The web team has obviously hand selected a group of words they deem not suitable for the community at large and/or that they simply don't want gracing the presence of their beautiful forums; adulterating them and otherwise making it a less fun place to be.
If you have a problem with this conclusion that they have come to, well, I hate to be "that guy", but, tough luck.
Also... are you suggesting that first word you used should not be censored? Cause if so... ... ... ...lolwut?
Also, I'm confused as to why you can say douche and not -blam!-. Probably because douche has another meaning and -blam!- is just... well... -blam!-. But still, they're equally offensive in their own rights.
