I despise capitalization for emphasis. It betrays either an insecurity about writing ability, or the belief that the audience is full of morons.

No, what capitalization does in the context of FR is to allow the writer to emphasize in the mind's ear of the reader how the writer means for the words to be said.

Italics are good for that kind of ear/voice emphasis, as well, but in the context of FR general protocol, italics typically signify words quoted from another post. So in order to avoid confusion or the trouble of having to go through six key strokes required in HTML to create italics as opposed to zero key strokes to go all-caps, one "vocally" emphasizes a word by putting it in all caps.

You despise capitalization for emphasis. I despise people who get so hung up in silly minor crap like that that they change the entire discussion from something important, to something all about an ego (yours) and your choice to be offended by something.
