Well, several site admins do. Prohibiting the use of obscenities serves to make the wiki more inviting to all users, not just those who like using profanity. It also helps keep conversations from devolving into nasty flame-wars, as use of obscenities, whether they are directed at a person or not, does tend to escalate situations. Frankly, the admins trust that people who come here will be able to contribute like mature individuals, without needing to resort to the use of obscenities which add nothing to a conversation. We need to make this wiki as inviting as possible to everybody, and if that means toning down the language a bit, so be it.

If you really don't like the policy, you can always propose that it be abolished or modified. No one would try and stop you. I certainly wouldn't.
