My opinion on swearing is that, although many people don't take offense to it, some people do and it is polite (if nothing else) to refrain from swearing if you know some people will get offended.
I actually don't swear for that reason alone. There are a lot of words that I would use if I knew that nobody had a problem with them. But since people do have a problem with them I just use other, "less offensive" words to get my point across.
I haven't really noticed a swearing problem on these forums though, so what's the big deal anyways?
