Just because one is mature does not mean he thinks, speaks
or enjoys foul language.  U.S. Grant, Gen USArmy and
President of the Umited States, is reported to have said,
after someone in a smoke-filled room asked if any ladies
were present, "No, but there are gentlemen present."

If your arguments and observations have value, they will
stand on their own merits.  If they do not, all the
vulgarity and profanity in the world will not improve their
astuteness, their accuracy nor their impressiveness.  

Your use of "bastards" may be fairly tame compared to what
many may write, but nonetheless it reminds me of a small
child's trying to get his mommy's attention by using a "bad
word".  These temper tantrums are not worthy of "adults" as
you claim we are.
