So then what makes the swearing special? It's the intent that makes them hit, not the words themselves.
Nothing. He just used it here with angry intent and he should've removed it. And not change for non-sweary anger, if that isn't clear
Nah, I say he could've kept the swearing if he changed the intent. Maybe it's my Australian slipping out, but they're just words. They can't hurt you. The intention sure as hell can, and I've seen way more vicious things written without swearing.
And agreed, it's just an arsehole-ish rant in general, regardless of whether he swore or not.
