Offensive Language in Novels

So what's your opinion? Is it okay for a christian author to use explicit or offensive language in their novels to illustrate a point? Are there certain situations where even a saved, sanctified, filled with the Holy Ghost saint should use profanity in novels?

If you're writing a novel or play that takes place in a setting that would in real life have characters who curse or sware a lot is it appropriate to use swearing, or should we find another way to get the point across?

Is it a sin even though you may just be trying to portray real events as realistically as possible? Has there been a thread on this before? All questions I would like anybody who can and will to answer as honestly and straightforward as they can.
