From Wikipedia:

Asperger Syndrome is characterized by:

- Narrow interests or preoccupation with a subject to the exclusion of other activities - check

- Repetitive behaviors or rituals

My main question to those that use and condone strong language is why?

Because some of us have strong opinions and choose our words with just as much care as those who care less about point than making sure they couldn't possibly offend. Because we realize that the idea that you can somehow simultaneously express an opinion, and yet offend no one is a zero-sum game. The fact that you even have an opinion is going to be offensive to someone. So, instead of worrying that our language is appropriate for emotionally delicate three-year-olds, we accept that not everyone will like our opinion, or how we choose to state it. We then choose our words with great care, and make sure that they say precisely what we wish them to, precisely how we wish them to, and that our "voice" is expressed correctly. If the only permissible language in the brave new world of bloggery is that which wouldn't offend Elmo, I predict a quick death of anything worth reading.

What drives you to cloud whatever you want to express by the noise that is namecalling and swearing? You don´t think it strenghtens your opinion, do you?

It depends. Is my opinion that someone is an acephalic moron? If so, then those are the words I shall use. If my opinion is that an idea put forth is so badly thought out that its mere existence is making everyone who reads it stupider, then that is the way I shall frame my thoughts on it. If I think something is just fucking brilliant, then I shall say it is fucking brilliant.

See, like most of the "OMGPROFANITY" crowd, you assume that the only time it is used is in the negative. While that is indeed the major case, it is not the sole case. I also find the elitist attitude towards users of profanity condescending and offensive in the extreme, because it's simply wrong. I can cuss like a fucking sailor with an infected dick. But it is by no means the only vocabulary I have available. It just means I like it. It's to the point, and doesn't dance around said point. It's...efficient. I value efficiency in all things.

If anything it makes it less relevant. Often, when I point this out to a fellow commentor, the response is ´I don´t f…ing care, go f… yourself´ or something along those lines. If that particular person does not seem to care, why bother voicing an opinion at all?

Well, let's see. You call someone an illiterate boob, and they react badly. Yet, you seem surprised by this. I'm not sure which is more amusing; your assumptions, or the fact that you're surprised that those assumptions aren't taken well. Maybe if you didn't make those particular assumptions, you'd get a better reaction to your other assumptions. Elitism is rarely taken well.

If I would express my views and counter disagreement at any point with aggressive speech or writing, it is clear I do not so much express my opinion but force my view on others (notwithstanding the option of it simply being ignored).

Nonsense. Actually, no, "nonsense" isn't the word. Bullshit. That is the correct word. Bullshit. This idea that all writing must be completely without anything that even sniffs of strength or aggression, or more correctly passion is bullshit, pure and simple. It is a demand that the rest of the world make sure your self-image is never challenged, or even allowed to stumble. There is a reason it's called self-esteem.

One of the surest ways to be confronted with namecalling, swearing and (thinly veiled) threats is to point out the pointlessness and counterproductiveness of just that. In the best case, you will be asked what made you the king of the moral high ground, the worst case I leave to the imagination. Replying to that without such language agitates the counterpart even more.

Perhaps it's the reaction of most people when someone reeking of ill-deserved language snobbery talks down to them in a patronizing, condescending manner? What, they're supposed to thank you for rudely calling them stupid, ignorant, and basically illiterate? If that's the reaction you expect, I think you need to reassess your worldview.

The question remains: why?
I think it is the feeling of being in power. It is feels powerful to swear. It feels even more powerful to disrupt other peoples live. It´s like vandalism, arson, bullying: it feels so good to influence anything. It shows you have the balls to do it, it shows you are not afraid. Actually it shows nothing but weakness, yet it does not feel like that.

If mere profanity truly upsets your life, then your emotional status is so fragile that I would seriously recommend you sever all ties with anyone not a pre-school teacher. They may be the only ones capable of speaking to you in a way you can handle, if the mere use of profanity "upsets your life". The comparison of profanity to vandalism and arson is ridiculous. But I would suggest that this thought process, (and anyone who would follow it to the letter) is guilty of precisely the same thing it accuses the users of profanity of. It feels good to look down your nose because they called you a "motherfucker" instead of a "not-nice person". It is convenient to use the excuse of profanity to dismiss opinions you dislike or disagree with. It satisfies the ego to say "They can't be correct, they used profanity. Therefore, they are automatically wrong, and I, obviously a better person since I don't use such language, am always right in comparison".

It's elitist crapola, and a poor attempt to place oneself above others, but it is satisfying to do so. Nothing makes your day than being able to place yourself above someone else.

So all you swearers and namecallers: more power to you, you are doing great, you are better than I. No guts, no glory. And remember: the feeling is shortlived, you have to do it over and over again.
