Googling for Larry Ellison and various swear words seem to doesn't turn up any articles where he swears at an interviewer. Can you provide an example of one?
I've read it somewhere; sorry, I don't have a reference to hand.
You can read about Ellison berating employees and screaming at them in a great book by Charles Ferguson called "High Stakes, No Prisoners". It's a wonderful accounting of building a startup in web 1.0 internet and selling it to MS -- Ferguson started Vermeer which built Frontpage.
See also, for example, Ballmer screaming and throwing chairs.
I don't doubt he's harsh, but berating employees privately is very different from swearing at an interviewer about past wrongs done to you. One makes you a harsh boss; the other makes you seem a little unstable. I don't have anything against swearing, personally. I also don't have anything against drinking wine in a bathrobe with your hair all messed up. But if somebody who wants to be the CEO of a major corporation showed up showed up at a restaurant for an interview in a bathrobe with messy hair chugging Prosecco straight from the bottle, I would find that questionable as well.
(Throwing chairs raises the "probably has issues" flag in any context that is not an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie.)
