    I filter out racist stuff and extreme profane words that really serve no purpose to be said, like the F-bomb... there is no reason for it, I suppose I was just raised differently :P

    I never bothered with filters because the only purpose they end up serving is to put a spotlight on the very words that bother you. Anyone who sees the words will read them as they should be regardless if you filter or not and if you don't know what they are then you will learn very quickly. If you really wanted people to not use them and/or wanted to strip them of their power over you then you would not go out of your way to give them the sort of attention they don't deserve.

    I censor certain words that got me banned from Adsense originally...

    Adsense will ban you for having certain words?

    I can't quite prove it, but suspicion and personal experience says perhaps. I say this because I assume most of it is an automated system and just picks up keywords.
