I object to swearing. I believe it's a very inefficient way to convey meaning, especially in a technical context, where it may make it actually harder to follow the line of thought. In addition, in some contexts (e.g. socially conservative environments), it could potentially be offensive to some people, and I generally think it's not worth to offend people unless there is a reason for it. It may be argued that some swear words are particularly good at transferring connotative meaning, but then the English language is rich enough that you can find other ways to do so.
