The OP was just commenting that they didn't find abuse and profanity productive. They didn't mention censoring anyone. They said it didn't work for them.

Do you have one single way of expressing yourself? Do you use profanity 100% of the time? Do you automatically reject all feedback on how you express yourself? ... On how you write code? ... Or how you interact with your colleagues?

Because, from your comment, that's how you come across.

All feedback can be made to be useful, even if you end up filtering it out early.

My coding comments often include the words "Fuck", "Shit" and "Cunt" when things are not going my way.

So all your comments are lacking is a bag of dicks. :3

True that, I will try to get a bit less triggerable about this.

No, of course not. I have however come into contact with quite a few people who tried to censor me before, that might be the reason why I'm so easily "triggerable" with this.
