Get a Wikipedia account, post your essays there, and let readers edit out the profanity themselves. They might even make other improvements in your writing, too.

Any chance that you can post alternate versions of your essays without the profanity? This way high school computer classes could still access it, otherwise. Symantec’s filter will block it based on content.
