Dear Bad Writer, Stop Using Profanity as a Crutch

Beating a skeletal horse:

Is this worthwhile expression? A well trod area, a point that has been made time and time again. A style critique based on a subjective assumption that is by it own admission limited in its application by the timing, arrangement, and skill of each writer and each writing? “Sometimes profanity is used as a filler, which appears lazy to me, except in certain circumstances which I will arbitrate because I know good writing and can identify laziness.” Perhaps teach a class, or concentrate on leading by example.
