I think he should be given one formal warning, but won't object if the 
moderators decide to just kick his arse out of here. It isn't as if he 
contributes anything useful to the discussion.

For the record, I have no objection to swearing or profanity (we're all 
adults here, or at least we're supposed to act like them), but there is 
a difference between "rude words" and abuse, and Mark crosses the line 
into abuse.

(I would also like to preemptively state that I object in the strongest 
possible terms to a blanket "no swearing" policy, just in case anyone is 
thinking of introducing such a thing.)
