Its also generally more effective when people use alternatives to such words, at least online. In person its different, you can hear inflection and read body language. But here, all we have are words and smilies. Also, ocassional use of the 'lesser' swears is generally tollerated. However, alternatives can be found. For example:

"What the f*ck!?!?!" is not very good
"What the hell?!?!?!" is better
"What the . . . ?!?!?" is best
