Naughty Fossils?

 Naughty Fossils? Many organisations have been holding "Virtual Meetings", mostly quite successfully. But I came across THIS REPORT in the Guardian which tells of a less satisfactory event.
Apparently the organisers for the US-based Society of Vertebrate Paleontology used a filter which rejected certain words considered unsuitable. The words suppressed might be unsuitable in many circumstances but not when discussing ancient life. 
Not wishing to shock my readership I will not repeat the naughty words - those of you of sufficiently strong minds can read the article. And NO giggling!
