It's not just the curses, don't be silly. It's the whole tone I imagine you using when saying out loud what you've typed. Also, swearing distracts immensely from the content of your writing. As soon as you start using curses, your writing's gone off the deep end and become a rant. And even if you don't cuss, you still can suggest a tone of voice. Just look at your writing again, from a point of view where you're assuming you didn't write it and find out how it seems to others. Because right now, while you might not be one (there, I said it again), you sound like a guy who's really two seconds short of eating your neighbour's newborn child while running around naked in your yard firing shots of an M16 into the air.
