Some guy’s description of the price for that set in France just makes
you sick.

Eww, ya, that’s gross. To answer your question -- Is it technically
possible? Yes. Is it obligatory? No. Is it warranted? That’s a very
good question -- and a tough one.
Obviously, this doesn’t actually answer your question, however.
Personally, I don’t find it offensive to me, since I am one of the
biggest potty-mouths that I know, but I agree with you that it is vulgar
and I would add profane, and certainly agree that some people (perhaps
many) may find it offensive.
Since this is uncharted (or virutally uncharted) territory here (since
this is in the set database comments rather than in a discussion group),
it’s not clear what, if any, administrative action to take, nor what the
outcome of such action might be. I’m not saying that nothing should be
done, I’m just saying this is a new gray area (to my knowledge).
Have you contacted Vincent (the author of the comment that you find
offensive) and let him know that you feel it is vulgar and asked him if
would please consider editing it to remove the vulgarity? If no, do you
think that’s something you might feel comfortable doing?
