How odd. I've been surrounded by courteous people all my life who cuss up a blue streak on occaision.

On OCCASION. I also cuss ON OCCASION. And I usually apologize. You argue that NOT cussing HIDES your true feelings - I argue that it DISPLAYS self-control, which a useful capability in ANY society.

Or do you think it's impossible to communicate in a controlled fashion?

Being entirely self-controlled is not a positive, in my book. If someone is P.O.ed at me, I want to know about it.
