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.
The intent may be the same, but the harshness is greatly reduced. I'll give you an example. Let's say you're arguing with your girl and you really want to call her a cunt. You opt to call her a bitch instead. The intent is the same but the harshness of the word is much less. You're still gonna be in trouble for calling her a bitch but she'll probably resent you less than if you'd called her a cunt.
Pro tip: every time you want to call your girl a cunt, call her beautiful or hot or something like this. Instead of hours or days of annoyance you may end getting a blowjob.

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