There has been too much foul language here of late.

[Major Robert Dump]

If a person chooses to be intellectually lazy with their words, why should it matter to others? Just filter out the gist of the argument and move on. No need to dwell on individual words.

Swearing, as Rhyfhylwyr says, is a means of letting of steam. Or to further a point, often with the backing of opinion. You won't see a scientific article saying, "Natural killer cells are similar in many respects to motherfuckin' cytotoxic T cells." It just doesn't work.

Use swear words. Just don't abuse them. Then they become bland and cliche.

This thread is not about me as I have not been posting. Also, I do not swear.
