What this collection of studies shows is that there is more to swearing than simply causing offence, or a lack of verbal hygiene. Language is a sophisticated toolkit, and swearing is a part of it.
The fact is that the size of your vocabulary of swear words is linked with your overall vocabulary, and swearing is inextricably linked to the experience and expression of feelings and emotions.

If swearing is a sign of higher intelligence, you're saying that it's important they do not express themselves as they wish?
If you insult a really stupid person by pointing out their stupidity, this is a bad thing?
how so?
Insults can lead to thought. And thinking is good. Honest.
Why?
This makes no logical sense.

Important to who? You?
A lot of swearing and cursing comments were removed by steemit policymakers, that is good progress for public viewing of platform
Appealing to a authority to do something is the antithesis of a free speech platform.
'Swearing' is subjective.
If I find 'flyski' the most disgusting swear word in the world, do I have the right to get your name removed?
Your argument is subjective, not objective
Objectively swearing and cursing words are removed by steemit owners , you and me just members of this platform.
there is no such thing as a 'objectively 'swearing' word'? Do you no understand this concept, or are you trying to impose your ideals on others?
Authoritarian,much?
So you are saying that steem owners remove information - ie they are actively censoring?
Do you have examples? (because I don't see it, and swear like a fucking trooper!)
Are you setting yourself up as 'the moral police?' lol
Good luck.
