DAMN STRAIGHT! (I don’t know how to make my type bold)

Don’t let it bother you. Some IDIOT, somewhere, decided that “CAPS” was unethical “shouting”. I listened really hard while reading your text and heard nothing.

I did notice your being emphatic.

It's best, whenever possible, to let the emphasis emerge from the writing itself, without resort to exclamation point or other punctuation and avoiding adjectives and adverbs whenever possible.

But there are times when added emphasis is useful or even necessary.
