[quote][b]Post politely.[/b] REFRAIN FROM POSTING IN ALL CAPS. On the Internet, posting in all capital letters is considered shouting, and therefore deemed rude and offensive. Overuse of capital letters also creates a strain on the eyesight, and makes it difficult to read text. Excessive shouting will be deleted and repeat offenders will lose their membership privileges.

I AM ONLY WRITING IN CAPS TO CELBRATE FOR THIS REASON:

[quote]International Caps Lock Day is in fact a testament to the small mindedness of certain Western individuals: the majority of the world’s population writes in scripts which have no concept of letter casing. Therefore it is advised to laugh at anyone who invokes this day as an excuse to dismiss local typographical conventions: they are simply making an *** out of themselves.[/quote]

If you come to a CAPS LOCK THREAD, ONE SHOULD EXPECT CAPS LOCKS. NO YELLING HERE, JUST CAPITAL LETTERS.

I LOVE ALL CAPS.


but to not get it deleted, the majority of my post is not in caps, hence 'all' caps. Beating the system one day at a time.

Now THAT's funny.

Random caPitaliZation "gets to me" more than ALL CAPS. We have a few posters who just don't seem to be able to work their shift key properly.

I fixed it. You should really decipher it Warden. I had two extra capitalized letters in it before in error.

Let's NOT forget the people that RANDOMLY capitalize WORDS even though IT has no basis on WHAT they're emphasizing
