WHY HAS MY MOOD TRACKER BEEN EDITED?

I'M NOT ONE TO "ROCK THE BOAT", SO TO SPEAK, BUT TODAY I NOTICED THAT MY MOOD TRACKER JOURNAL ENTRY HAD BEEN EDITED.
NO PERSON CAN READ THIS THIS ENTRY, SO WHAT'S THE PROBLEM WITH GETTING OUT YOUR ANXIETY AND ANGER, ETC. BY SAYING WHAT YOU FEEL? I MEAN, ISN'T THAT WHAT THIS MOOD TRACKER IS FOR?
THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN IT IS FOR MY EYES ONLY, OR SO I THOUGHT, BUT NOT SO!!!!!  
AND WHAT'S THE PROBLEM WITH WRITING THE WORD S#!@**Y ANYWAY?
I DON'T USE PROFANITIES, BUT I ALSO DON'T EXPECT ANYONE TO EVER READ THIS MOOD TRACKER JOURNAL!!!!
I THINK I MIGHT JUST DELETE THE WHOLE THING AND BE DONE WITH IT, BUT I FELT BETTER WHEN I COULD AT LEAST GET MY REAL FEELINGS DOWN ON PAPER, IT'S NOT A WONDER WE HAVE ANXIETY PROBLEMS!
SHAME ON YOU, WHO MONITOR THIS SITE, TO INVADE OUR PRIVACY LIKE THIS...NOT TO MENTION MY DISAPPOINTMENT IN YOUR TOLERANCE.

Hi Zepora,

I also want to clarify something on the journals. I think the "editing" you are seeing is our automatic smut filter. It's not something we are doing after we read your journal, but rather we have a tool that automatically edits out curse words and other offensive terms from all content on the site. You bring up a good point though, that on a private journal you should be able to just let it all out, so this will be something we'll look to see if we can change at some point.

Thanks for your help Wolf and Michael,
I shouldn't have posted this and I apologize to all of those who monitor the forum. I was wrong in accusing you when the problem was with me not realizing that I hadn't set my "Privacy" settings properly. Now that I've got that all settled out, I feel so much better.
Once again, my sincere apologies for this accusing Post.
Hugs & Prayers

If you click on the icon that says "settings", you will see a space that asks you who you want to see your tracker.  Just click on the one you want - probably "private".  I didn't notice it till you mentioned it.

Can't we even swear in our journals?

Namaste,

I also was unaware that my mood tracker journal is public, so I appreciate that information, but there must be some way to make it private.

If I find out how to do it, I'll let you know.
