Swearing and insults really have nothing to do with each other from what I can see. Personal attacks of any kind, including insults should not be welcome but, words are merely words. They have literally only the value that the person hearing them assigns them.

I vote swearing should be just fine, if people are offended by it it's because they choose to take offense over a word. Rather than insults which are much more specific expressions.
