Well would you want to participate in a conversation where there's a swear word every third word or something like that? Using words like that tend to not only people turn people off from a conversation, but if they see that those words are being used across the wiki, then they might not want to participate in any conversation because those words are being used.

Words like that tend to not invite people into a conversation as words like that tend to discourage people from either entering or participating in a conversation. Even if the words are being used generally, some people may take offense to them. Even if they aren't participating in the conversation.
