It's interesting how it takes reading someone else's writing to realize how little profanity adds to the substance of a comment. You never realize it when it's your own comment.

I’ve found profanity can add impact when I’m a regular reader of someone who normally doesn’t use profanity and I’m familiar with their normal lack of profanity.

I disagree, the information it communicates is visceral in nature rather than 'rational', but it provides a much broader cross-section of a person to relate to (or feel alienated from).
