This is a common misconception. The filter is there as a safeguard for parents and other people who don't want to see offensive language under any circumstances. It is not there to allow people to just say anything they like.

This is taken from the ToS Final Fantasy XIV Support
The use of inappropriate or offensive language, whether or not directed at another player, is considered harassment and is strictly prohibited
OP I agree, considering there are considerable differences between what individuals deem 'offensive', it would be helpful if the system gave more information about the nature of the offence when somebody is reported.
