The Dives collection is growing:

Fan sites are springing up including this handy raid assistant tool for Raid Leaders which may owe a thing or two to Dives:

Psychology is interesting. In football in England pretty well everyone swears, it's part of being manly and competitive. I've drunk with people who have real problems stringing together a full sentence without a swearword in it. I think we swear more here in Europe than people do in America although it's very influenced by social demographic.
Dives is Scandinavian which means that although there's some accent his English will be excellent. It's not lack of vocabulary which is why he's swearing so much, he's choosing his words because they have impact (and release some tension too)
At the end of the day the people in his guild support him and are happy to stay there so clearly for some people he is fine. I think I'd get fed up if he was my raid leader though, either that or laugh my head off so much I run into whelps and lose dkp
In my current guild we have a Finnish guild leader too but he's much more laid-back. He sounds a bit like Arnold Schwarzenegger. So we get things like "melee dps now!" in a very flat Terminator voice which is quite amusing. He never swears though
