Please can I have my 'BASTARD' back

Dear Katherine
Shortly after first joining this site I submitted an article about life in the 4th Hussars.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/ww2/A2017630
To my astonishment it was turned down by the Moderators and when I asked for the reason I was told it was my use of the word 'bastard' that was being objected to and that if I ammended the word by using asterisks I could re-submit it and it would be accepted. I was also told that very young persons used the site and they might therefore be offended.
We seem to have moved on quite a bit since then, because a site search on the offending word has turned up quite a few articles with the word prominently displayed.
Do I now have your permission and assurance that if I go back to my article and re-insert the correct word which WAS used at the time by my SSM it will now be accepted ?
Best wishes
Ron
