Offline swearing is generally a lack of discipline in sustaining your emotions. It's a weakness, and shows you're not capable of expressing your position properly with common words. Swearing is the easy way out, but it gives people around you a negative feeling about you (could be sadness, anger, pity). Not judging anyone who does, for I'm swearing too sometimes.
Online swearing is plain childish, as you have all the time to think of a proper way to explain yourself.

too be honest i disagree completely. swearing itself is a retarded concept. its like this:
guy acts like a stubborn donkey, referred to as an ass repeatedly... since he acts this way he gets called an ass all the time. He starts to get offended so now ass, which is a synonym for donkey is now considered insulting, but calling him a donkey isn't as insulting.. How does that make any sense. "swear words" are just words that someone got offended by and started complaining about.
