Is posting 'fuck random' "behaviour that is unacceptable in any collegial working environment"? I think not. In many work environments frank expressions of anger are a consequence of high levels of engagement in the work.
It may be that in order to encourage participation by those who are very sensitive to potentially hostile environments (We used to say thin-skinned.), the community needs to ban behavior that is often viewed as normal in other environments. But something is likely to be lost in the process: the deep commitment of some talented contributors. I, for one, will regret this and may prefer disengagement from this community to walking on eggshells.
