Assuming you ever were in a position to lose a ship, or maybe are in a position where you lose ships constantly ?
Of course, the value of the ship/gear could have a huge influence too, or maybe that value compared to the total wealth you have, percentually ?
Me... I tend to fly relatively cheap ships to begin with, and I'm not very often in the position where I would risk losing one that is worth a noticeable percentage of my wealth... as a consequence, I believe my worst verbal outburst so far went something like "whoops... gatecamp, guys, don't jump... running back for the gate... webbed... gonna' die here, not gonna' make it... yup, dead. Damn, there goes the +2 set too... Oh well..."
How about you ?

I've got a few hundred mill, and even with the skills for them I don't generally feel comfortable flying CSs and HACs...worst I lost was a rigged Arazu worth about 110m, and I just got mopey for a bit.
I'm quite happy losing t1 cruisers, t2 frigs, and battlecruisers in decent combat situations. Pew pew!

I'm actually one of those nut jobs that honestly contemplates throwing my monitor out the window following a heavy loss.
However I'm losing far fewer ships as I gain experience and wisdom. Seems I typically lose ships now to alcohol consumption, and my goodness you don't want to be in the same room as me when that happens.
Don't drink and fly, bad things happen.

The last couple of times I got gate ganked I could only laugh at myself at how I had no chance to defend myself against 15 ships :P

Biggest ship I ever lost was a megathron. I did something stupid and got concorded. I think all I did was sigh and say "Oops! that was stupid".

I used to get very upset... I was really, really, really bad at PvP then (now I'm just really bad). Being really*3 bad, I didn't always understand what I'd done wrong or how I'd died. The frustration was (to me) epic.
Now, though, I've learned a lot and I usually know I'm going to die before it actually happens, so I'm sort of already resigned to it when it does... so instead of being like "WTF GD MF SOB", I'm more like... "meh... gf" if it was a gf... if it was just a gank/gatecamp situation like you describe in the OP, I don't say much at all... just kinda let out a long, drawn out sigh, calm down and get my new clone sorted out.
I love this game.

Meh Its the 'oh shit' moment before I start getting shot at that I start getting colorful with my words. Once i lose it I dont say much at all... A bit of sulking, the occasional desire to use my free noobship to absolutly pwn someone... But not really much talking.

I usually don't mind but the other day I went and bought a Crusader. I am poor so fully fitting a 'sader with T2 cost me over 20mil ISK and is a pretty significant cost. One hour later I had lost it... to a pair of RIFTERS. I was so ****ing mad I almost kicked my dog and smashed my monitor on the wall. I got over it though :)
The ability to evoke emotion is part of what makes Eve so different from other games. It is hardcore so when you win you are stoked and when you lose you are ****ED.

i only get annoyed when i do something stupid that gets me killed. when it's a good fight - or at least a fun fight - i usually think the loss was worth it, but when i think i should be ok - and then i'm not because i didn't do what i KNEW i should do - i get really frustrated with myself and will often begin several minutes of flagellation and verbal self-abuse that usually ends in tears with me pointing in the mirror and whispering: "that's the man, officer."
a few weeks ago i actually lost a ship - and a T2-fitted Domi, at that - in PvE for the first time in as long as i can remember, and that was purely because i was half-asleep and wasn't paying attention to what i was doing.
i almost quit EVE then and there out of shame and humilation.
edited to add: i've never gotten verbally abusive to another player, by the by, although i have to admit that a few people have annoyed and frustrated me with smack-talk and/or generally immature behaviour and i have defintely wanted to be abusive, but hey, it's a video-game and they're acting like tools because the internet is there to protect them, so what's the point?

agreed - i've been pvp'ing since the mid/late 90's in various games and this is the only one that, regularly, gets my heart pounding and my pulse thudding in my ears. there's a truly visceral element to PvP in EVE that i've never found anywhere else.

Usually the swearing comes when I find myself in a position that I'm likeley to lose a ship. By the time it happens, I've resigned myself to it. I may log off for a bit though depending on what I lost, and how stupid I was being at the time.

My worst loss was a sacrilege fitted out with about 600m in faction gear. It was a 1v1 setup, but after buying it I got invited to a gang and we got ganked badly 5 minutes later.
I felt somewhat sad for a while, but more just embarassed when I had to post the loss :(
I don't get upset playing Eve, never have.

Depends on the loss situation tbh, if say my gang ditches me to die then lots of swearing, but if I pretty much know I'm going to die then meh whatever only a little swearing.
I swear a lot more when say a HIC or interceptor fails to tackle something really easy like a BS/freighter.
I can replace anything I lose quite easily so that has no effect on my swearing :)

my only regret is that i have but one ship to give for my gang,
sometimes i sing the 'mario fell down a hole' music to myself, the rest range from 'lol woops' to 'NUKE THAT ****ING MEGA!!!!'
though the last several times ive died i knew EXACTLY what i did wrong, and can say i havent repeated any of them to date.

Usually just a low key "damn", or a loud laugh.
I often mail the person and congradulate him (no joke, and I mean it too). Not always, however. Depends on the sitution.
Play nice while you butcher each other.

Well I haven't lost a ship in like a year, but I wouldn't get very upset about it. It's a game, and I can buy more.

EVE, surprisingly, I take very laid-back when it comes to ship losses. Mainly because if I die it's because of gross stupidity on my part, or the result of a good fight etc.
Not like TF2 or something where some ***** sniper pops you from across the map. Or you miss killing a guy by one bullet. Gets annoying a lot faster.

kinda laughed my ass off at one or two losses,
aww **** bounced off the gate on another,
okay lets undock and get back to the pos.... oh shit I was at the pos when I logged (afk gang warp ftl),
guys wtf I lasted like 5 mins against these fools and none of you showed up except for you in a frigate (wtf) and a bc, if like 2 of you showed up in real ships we would have kicked their asses. a wtf mega and geddon, and a drake at the top of the killmail 
then there was a wtf dude, you said there was a tempest and a cerb, there was also a falcon a geddon, and some interceptors. (he got caught by the tempest and cerb, asked for some help, I show up start ripping the tempest a new one falcon missed a few cycles, falcon then gets me 4-5 times in a row I go kaboom. and the guy I show up to help warped out when the tempest warped out, and said well it would have been more expensive for me to lose my arby launchers than for you to lose your geddon. we also lost an apoc that came to help)
