Read this @!#$%* posting

Interesting Wall Street Journal article about profanity in the workplace. Turns out some corporate cultures and bosses accept or even encourage foul language, claiming it indicates passion, while others strictly frown on it.
In its hard-boiled youth, the newsroom was often seen as a bastion of vulgarity. Corporate culture is slowly but surely changing that.
What do you think? Is profanity in the workplace OK? Or is it unprofessional and always in poor taste because there is always the risk of offending someone?
