I don't want to jump in the discussion, but I just want to say this:

Only an obscene person will condemn obscenity. For example
children accept swearing as a natural language, but adults condemn it because their own obscenity is greater than that of children. The jovial man-about-town with a stock of obscene stories will sternly reprove his son for talking about excrement. The untruthful mother will spank her child for lying. I have seen a man, with pipe in mouth, whipping his son for smoking. I have heard a man say as he hit his son of twelve, "I'll teach you to swear, you little bastard." When I remonstrated, he said glibly, "It's different when I curse. He’s just a kid."

So, I guess, to start to talk about one's obscene things and condemn it, means "mental offtopic", not formal offtopic.

Some people changes their values in time, some not. We write a text messages here; so, even if one said rude words sometimes, however, after while he/she may already "forget what he said" (but the messages with obscene words are still availabe to see, and not available to edit). But maybe that's not so important thing to pay your attention at? If you start to condemn it, then you fix the interest over it, and pass the actual problems.
