You seem to be assuming that I care that much about such net conventions and sensibilities.
I’ve pontificated at length on the topic here:

You are quite welcome to avoid my posts.
Assumptions about my anger and yelling are likely to continue to be at best seriously flawed if not thoroughly wrong.
I find “vitriolic” to say far more about the person using the term about me than it says about me.
Even folks I’ve never met face to face on FR and even who do not agree with a lot of my perspective know that’s a dreadfully inaccurate and poor term to use about me and even about my emotional and dramatic posts.
Do not ping a poster who has been instructed to leave the thread.
Quix:
You stated that I am quite welcome to avoid your posts. However, it is you that consistently ping me. Again, I don’t have a complete accuounting of my post history but I don’t ping a litany of protestants when I post and tend to stick at a particular point being discussed and thus tend to ping one or two selected posters.
Despite your prior pontifications, it is internet protocol to avoid tons of all Cap posts as I have been told by the Mod that trying to read a posters mind is “a personal attack”
So when I see all caps, it comes across, consistent with internet protocol used in the civilized world, as angy, mean spirited and ok, lets say a “potentially vitriolic post”
And you are correct, I don’t know you and you don’t know me so again, if you ping me in the future, and I can care less if you do or not, I would appreciate you not putting your posts in all caps, or at least have the courtesy of putting a statement in parentheses something to the effect [for emphasis, etc] when doing so. That way, neither you are I have to make assumptions about anything.
