It's not your word choice; it's your action choice. Your response to people criticizing you was to tell teacher. Should they have used less colourful language? Probably. Should you, as a company, grow a thicker skin? Definitely.

Fwiw, I know what it's like to be the person behind a corporate Twitter account having to deal with angry people. It's not much fun, but it's greatly helped by the company not having terrible policies that damage the brand's reputation.

That wasn't poor word choice - that was a threat. It was not a single incident, but part of a long running pattern.
You have clearly not learned anything from the responses you received.
Disappointing, but unsurprising.
Do better.

Exactly this. It's a record of at least three years of poor word choices.. "Sorry for being caught out"...

The people you threatened were hardly abusing you. How does someone saying your name is stupid or saying you're not a real fish warrant trying to go nuclear on their funding?

You expect people to give you info on where their funding comes from when you could turn around and use it as blackmail because someone aimed a curseword at you on the intertet? Unhinged.

stop searching your own name and reporting people to their funders for using a naughty word, would be my advice. those tweets weren't *directed at* you, they were just *about* you.
