Lots of hate over a comment about vulgarity. People need to stop throwing hissy fits every time this issue is brought up, and look at it with a more calm and respectful eye.
Profanity and vulgarity are neither professional nor respectful. Lewd references and euphemisms are neither professional nor respectful. Taunting others because they are asking for a little politeness and consideration is neither professional nor respectful.
In the case of this article, the author was quoting someone else relevant to the story, not speaking with his own voice, so censorship isn't necessary from a professional standpoint. But the censorship of the word in question would not have changed the meaning, intention, or context of the quote, so censorship would also have been acceptable.
It comes down to the policies of Best of Media and Tom's Guide, and whether they want to offer their news as raw and uncensored as they can, or to make their news accessible to the largest audience possible.
That being said, if the Tom's writers themselves use vulgarities or euphemisms, it seriously hurts the credibility and professional image of the company, and thus restricts the size of their audience.
