The best (i.e. most readable) way to emphasize a particular word in a post is to italicize or boldface the word.

However, entering HTML markup can be a tedious and, when I'm lazy or in a hurry, I frequently use UPPERCASE to EMPHASIZE a particular word.

Other options would be emphasize by denoting the word or phrase to emphasize with punctuation, /like this/ or *like this*.

BUT I'M NOT YELLING WHEN I USE UPPERCASE!!!! YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT??
