I always assumed that it has to do with LoTers reading from work.

I believe it's to get around censors that may be in place at LoTer's places of business. We generally don't give a fücking sh¡t about cursing, but sometimes Big Brother does. I'm sure an admin will correct or elaborate.

Because swear words look naughtier when censored.

In one of my morphing novel/screenplay thingies, one of my characters makes the point that much of the evil that men do would disappear if it were stigmatized as gay. E.g., "The president wants to invade Iraq? What a fag."

And so my kind - nay, noble! - request ends with a mind picture of GW Bush bending over to pick up the soap.

Not with a bang but with a whimper, eh?

That's true: I don't notice them when written normally, but put in a couple of asterisks, and they stick out like a sore thumb
