Profanity isn't an issue on HN. We tend to override Bowdlerisms and did that with the title above a while ago.

Your comment, though, falls in the category of what this site guideline asks people not to post:

"Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. They're too common to be interesting." - https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

The point isn't that these things aren't annoying, it's that changing the topic of the thread to one of these annoyances is a big step down in discussion quality, so we should all try to resist.
