I swear at my dice, but never at the other player.

I had a game last week where I failed 10 of 16 'attempts' where only a 1 failed(BS5, Termie armor and to wound rolls). I lost that game by a small margin and I know it wasn't my tactics nor my opponents skill that won the day.

I swore...at my dice. At least twice.

I totally agree with this, I rarely swear at my opponent, more at dice and stuff that happens. When I do swear at the opponent its always in a joking manner

Once or twice during a bad moment of the game is sometimes acceptable or funny. But if its in every sentence or directed at the other player then I'd say no

I agree you shouldn't be swearing at someone unless of course you have the kind of relationship where that is ok. Tone is very important as well.

Really depends. Question one: What is my relationship with my opponent. Question 2: JUst how badly did I just roll?
