The mods in this thread have made a perfectly reasonable business case for banning swearing - advertisers will pay less or not at all and they will lose members. I would do the exact same thing if I owned this site. It has nothing whatsoever to do with showing a certain level of decorum.
Haha.

In order for them to sell appropriate advertising space, they must ban swearing within CP. We both agree.

Social Decorum: The prescribed limits of appropriate social behavior within a set situation.

The prescribed limits (no swearing) of appropriate social behavior within a set situation (CalgaryPuck).

So, your right. It has nothing to do whatsoever with decorum except that it has everything to do with decorum.
