Simply using a certain kind of language automatically doesn't mean that your opinion is somehow abusive, insulting, or otherwise outside the spirit of the community.

Discounting someone's reply only on the grounds of their choice of words is ignorant discrimination.

In the words of Penn and Teller, trying to stop people from swearing is ********!
I agree with you philosophically (except for the ignorant discrimination part-- too broad). In practice though, for this forum, I'm not too concerned with the language filters here. I think a few are quaint, but I actually enjoy throwing out a $#@^&%! now and then more than the actual verbiage.

Besides, as is driven home more and more lately, not everyone here is mature or adult.
