Wouldn't that be lovely. Unfortunately, some of us, myself included, think of "vulgarities" as simple words. For example, I read "fuck you" as "I really do not like what you are saying or you, for that matter." Is there a difference? Not in my mind. Now, let's say someone says "Fuck you, you *racial slur*" the racial slur is not a word like shit that is really just a synonym for a less offensive word. The racial slur is, in an of itself and all synonyms, offensive to a slew of people. I would prefer language like that is not used and it is against the rules. Swearing is not, nor is it inherently hostile.
