No. Sometimes you need to let out a good string of curse words. But if it comprises a large portion of what you say, then perhaps.
Off topicish - why exactly are curse words "curse words"?

No. I personally don't ever make judgements about people based the amount of cursing they do. Grammar and vocabulary doesn't mean all that much to me either, to be honest.
Words are only one of the many forms for expression.

no. I think it's all context.
I do have an issue with words like "cuss," "crick," "critter," etc. I don't get why "curse," "creek," "creature," etc. need to be re-worked to sound more... quaint? is that the right word here?

I said rarely only because I have a huge vocabulary that I use quite often. I just like to mix a littl swear words in there form time to time

I think so. I read a study back in college about how the flexible nature of swear words (as multiple parts of speech) narrows the need to maintain a wider variety of words in your lexicon, so over time persistent bad language limits your speech.

A well-placed curse word can really add to a conversation, and has been shown to be a trust and relationship builder. That being said, overuse has very negative effects.

I think sometimes it may be a sign of a lacking vocabulary, but not usually.
And it seems judgmental to me to assume that that's probably the reason why a person cusses...
I think people should try to avoid making assumptions like that.

Many people who embellish their diction with inordinate amounts of profanity do have a paltry vocabulary. However, it is erroneous to say that all who do so are also subject to the same fate.

If every third word spewing from your mouth is an Fbomb conjugation, I don't think you are angry/frustrated, I think you are ignorant. It's like a space in your speech so I have to read between your words to understand what you're saying.
