I think that the scrapheap/word filter thing is totally fair game, since he was screwing with the site as admin anyway. Like he said, it's all in good fun. I also think it's sort of melodramatic to make some sort of connection between the word filter and repressed speech, because it becomes pretty obvious pretty quickly which words are which. One of the things I like about this site is that it doesn't take itself too seriously, and the people here recognize that when it boils down to it it's just a internet message board and not fucking global politics.
