It does, just not on the internet.

There's no stakes here (the internet) for it to matter if you swear or not.

Your attitude on the internet won't result in any meaningful feedback, by default.

Someone has to be watching from a more strict environment for it to matter what you say on the internet. It needs to affect your job, or your wife needs to read your posts, or a moderator needs to clamp down on you.

The community accepts swearing by default.

Soo people who are in professional environments are going to bring their communication norms with them when they post online.

An I over -explaining an answer to a rhetorical 'why?' question. I think I am.

I can never tell online, if people are literally asking a question that requires explaining OR it is simply a rhetorical question.

Oh well. c'est la vie.
