All caps refers to the usage in the vanity title, which should have really been posted to chat, not news. It looks like yelling and comes across as childish.

I've been here almost 3 years, and this is the first time I've seen anyone complain about an "All Caps" title. No one else on this thread complained. There are two articles currently in Breaking News with all caps titles, and no one's complaining about those.

Regarding this thread belonging in chat...It seems the moderators didn't think so, and that's their job, not ours.

I don't believe that "member from" dates should be an issue, especially if/when the newer person is correct.

Personally, I think posters should hang around awhile before they go preaching to long time members about posting guidelines. The posting police currently are fully staffed.

Would you like it if I came to your house to eat, and told you how to make cornbread?

That you know of. You're describing the problem, not the excuse.

LOL I made a wisecrack and you got your knickers bunched. You, on the other hand, are in a lathery dudgeon.

Cheers

Oh, since you haven't seen anyone complain, that means it's ok? And you've read all the posts in your time here?It's long-time internet etiquette, something which I was just pointing out, as was the other poster.

In addition, the mods don't look at every thread to determine where it should go unless they are called to it with a complaint. It is up to the original poster to determine best where the thread should go. In addition, as conservatives, we shouldn't need authority figures pointing things out - we should be able to self-police ourselves. Now, you don't think that someone's email to BOR is 'news', do you?

The 'newbie' may have been here as long as you. Or maybe even as long as I have, as a lurker. Regardless, the point of being correct still stands (versus the member from date).

This isn't the original poster's "house", so your comparison there falls flat.
