Words in and of themselves are amoral.

Firearms in and of themselves are amoral.

A nude painting in and of itself is amoral.

It takes a living, breathing person using these things in a specific context, with specific intentions, or with carelessness/disregard to qualify as "moral" or "immoral".

I don't swear online. As someone on a church staff who's blog is linked to the church's site and vice versa, I try not to. I believe we're talking words here and not 'taking the Lord's name in vain.' Words are words (someone has said this above I think the dewde) it's how you use them. Foul language is usually inappropriate because it's lazy and crude. I don't have a habit of cussing in public and not something I work into my speech but it happens.

Good point,
even if you feel that swearing is an authentic expression of what you are feeling or experiencing – it is not righteous.
there are better ways

If you are a child of God, then you are a Temple of God. http://english.sdaglobal.org/question/temple.htm Therefore you should be careful of what not only goes in that Temple, but what also comes out of that Temple. You are supposed to be an example.

If ignorance and lack of respect of others is authentic then, yes.

I used to swear a lot, and now I don't do it online or offline.

i had some issues with swearing a few years after I was saved.My pastor told me that it wasn't the swearing he was concerned about it was my heart. I prayed for a long time to stop, which I did)
A direct answer…NOPE.

a lot of people swear and do so without realising it, especially those that have sworn all their lives. i try to not swear much but do allow swearing on my blog, it adds a bit of attention to sentences. As long as its not f this f that in every other sentence its ok

swearing is like smoking – u can do it (if u really want to) but it is in the face of everyone else whether they like it or not.
I think it is inconsiderate but is could be a authentic out flowing of emotion that should rather be expressed in a more considerate manner.
