YOU
ARE
ASSUMING
That I’m screaming
instead
of
raising my eyebrows;
raising my tone half a note;
looking more intently with my eyes.
This arbitrary and artificial PRESUMPTION that CAPS ALWAYS equals screaming is childish nonsense, imho.
Why support such a restricted straight-jacket on textual communication just because some idiot early on in the internet decided that’s what it ALWAYS MEANT and
ALWAYS HAD TO MEAN.
Sheesh.
The net gestapo rides again.

Using all caps may not always signify screaming, but it IS always annoying to try and read.
