The chat was passed under the stipulation that it was for wiki contributors to get to know each other better without spamming the site with blogs. Cursing was never actually allowed, until people just felt like doing it. I think you're asking the wrong question. A better question would be "Why did (you) bring this up?"

As far as I can tell, this is a non-issue, hence my comment earlier stating that you're charging at windmills here. I see no problems, and as many others had pointed out, this has been discussed only weeks ago. All this thread seems to have done is shake the beehive, because some people here appeared to be getting ''really. Freakin'. Angry.'' I could care less if they're angry. What I do care about is maintaining a sense of professionalism. How is it the wrong question exactly? I made a site discussion about something I believe in. I find it to be an issue, so I made the thread. Don't berate me for making a site discussion thread. It's a discussion for a reason. I can ask the question why people feel the need to swear on a professional website, and I want an answer. You misunderstand. I'm not berating you. I'm counterarguing. There's a difference.

It may very well be the case that they do not have a reason - no "why" in other words - but I'm still not seeing how this is an issue.

I understand that you see it as an issue, but if you want to convince your detractors, you need to provide evidence that it actually is an issue. You also need to address the criticisms aimed at your position about this being the appropriate solution to this supposed issue.

It's not my fault if people get angry over a civil discussion and aren't mature enough to find other words in their vocabulary that aren't vulgar, but actually more acceptable. Actually, yes, it does matter that you're charging at the windmills, because it's an attempt to fix something that probably isn't broken to begin with.
