I can think of a lot of terribly rude things without ever outright swearing, too. It's part of the problem with privileging certain special magic swearwords; with the proper intersections of meaning, pretty much anything you say can become terrible.

You say this as though they aren't? I have yet to see where the rules or the big wigs encourage forum members to be obnoxious, vulgar, or offensive. Ive seen many accounts banned for that including my own.
I dont think I have even made a thread with claims as foolish as rev is making.

Indeed. I could say, for example, that something is "the shit" or "the bollocks" and, although using 'naughty' words, I'd actually be paying a compliment.

'Jävla hora och självbefläckande incestbög' has a nice ring to it...
So does my arse but its acceptability is limited

Telling someone that you deem them so horribly broken that they deserve eternal fiery torture if they don't buy your product springs to mind. But no-one here would do that, surely..?
