There is a part of me that thinks it is somewhat prudish when people take such dislike to general, non specific cussing; they are, after all, only words. But, I also do not like to hear excessive *pointless* cussing as well. When I hear people talk in excessive expletives for no good reason, I can't help but come to the conclusion that the said person has a problem and articulating their thoughts, and is rather petulant. That said, I swear too f'ing much. Lol. But, to swear in text, for me at least, really would take effort to do so, even when writing in a stream-of-consciousness type way. When one writes, there is extra time and thought going into what is being written. So, if there is excessive cussing, then that person is either completely clueless as to the impression they are making, or they are going out of their way to 'posture'. I would find neither particularly impressive. I also feel swearing excessively knocks the poignancy (and point) out of cussing. A solitary, and well placed expletive is far more satisfying and effective than a continuous barrage of cuss words. I personal would take offence at his “modesty is not for dominant women like yourself” assertion. I would be tempted throw a similarly offensive-manipulative assertion back at him along the lines of 'swearing like a petulant Neanderthal is not for graceful, well tempered, intelligent sub males, with self control.... like yourself', but it's probably not worth it. Just consider it part of the vetting process, and put it down to a incompatible temperaments. Regardless of sub/Dom orientation, if one can't be courteous enough uphold a simple request like toning down the cussing a bit, the man just lacks basic manners.
