Questionable T?

In neither of those examples did the conversation take place within the scope of the game. I think the original sitch did and seemed like an attempt at taunting on top of using profanity.

And that is why a T is appropriate in the given situation.

You know that a player addressed an opponent in an unsporting manner. The use of certain words is indicative of that, but not in and of itself the offense.

I would counsel you to refrain from putting your individual opinion of what words are appropriate and which are not into your decisions. There are clearly some that are obvious, but there are far more that are not. When it comes to judging language, it is better to operate within widely accepted parameters.
