No, it's the passive voice that does that, although the blocking of communication may be just what the speaker wants. "An altercation took place in the pastor's office and a number of swear words were spoken" hides the doer of the action (the person who was swearing) which may be what you want if it was in fact the pastor who was swearing like a trooper.
