Proof? We don't need no stinking proof! When you function as judge, jury, and executioner, lack of proof is not a problem.

Seriously, this is obviously a matter that you do not take lightly, and I would think that those you work for/with would know this to be the case. Having said this, I would also think that you would not be inclined to take action unless you were quite certain of what the player said. Having said all this, if you feel a warning is the appropriate action, by all means do so. But, in the case of a player letting lose a stream of language which you might find totally unacceptable, even if nobody else heard it besides you, in the first place who would ask you for proof, and in the second place, cuz I said so is all the proof you would ever need in this situation.
