Thanx to all who replied to my original question. Those replying have offered some sensible and varied suggestions which were useful points of view for me to consider.
Even so it seems to me that an optional profanity filter which would be editable based upon one's group and it's thrust could still be useful. That of course presumes that a group's moderating team well understands both their group's intent and its membership.
I'm sure not everyone will agree with me here, but that's what makes for diversity.
Much Appreciated!
