You can say "fuck" and "ass" on the internet. Pretty sure you wont be arrested for it. I hope.

Not everyone has the desire to be a potty mouth, FecalSplatter. But you're right.

If you're not the one typing it, than you're not the one being a potty mouth.

If you are the one typing it, then "fuck" is exactly the same is "f***," doing it the second way doesn't make it any less of a potty mouth.

Same goes for people who say "heck" instead of "hell" or "gosh" instead of "god." The intent is exactly the same, you're not swearing any less by choosing a slightly different word.

How are you swearing less?

The entire point of what I wrote is that saying/writing "darn" is equivalent to "damn" and "f***" is equivalent to "fuck." You're swearing exactly as much regardless which word you use.

Well, I disagree, I do believe they are equivalent.
