Yeah I actually do think that the profanity can indicate more honesty. The trouble is, if it’s also combined with a personal attack on others it inflames conversations. Two people can then rile themselves up and derail an entire thread.

Of course the comment replying to you did the same thing: made a personal attack on you, and it derailed you into a personal attack with swearing.

Sure. And what's most interesting to me is that both personal attacks and swearing were caused by this underhanded version of censorship. It in effect caused what it is supposed to solve.
