Mark Twain would disagree: http://www.twainquotes.com/Profanity.html and vulgarity combined with wit can be a wonderous thing. That said, I stumbled across this thread after leaving a reply in another thread where I swore twice. I went back and acted as my own mod, and will be more attentive to it in the future. In my writing, I try to treat swearing as a spice. For others it can be more of a side dish, or bordering on the main course. Then there are those that prefer things to be bland. To each their own.
