------------------------
This seems like an overemphasis that somehow we (the policy-abiding  editors) 
are the cause instead of the vandals being the cause.  The  primary cause of 
the vandalism rests with the vandals.  Our policies  address this case 
spot-on, but nobody fixed the article.  Why didn't  they?  Maybe we need more 
editors. Maybe we need an automatic "bad-word  robot" to collect examples and create 
a "bad word page".  That would make  it a lot easier to monitor.  But this 
case is not a result of our policies,  our policies say "don't do this".
