OK, SO I DO THIS ALL CAP'S WHEN I WRITE SOMETHING, HAVE BEEN DOING IT FOR A WHILE BECAUSE MY EYES ARE WEEK AND MAYBE OTHER'S ARE ALSO. WELL, I WAS ON A DIFFERENT SITE, AND I GOT A VERY ANGRY REPLY FROM SOMEONE I DON'T KNOW. THEY WERE VERY MAD THAT I DO THIS ALL CAP'S. I TRY TO ALWAYS PUT UP A DISCLAIMER, BUT THEY SAID THAT'S PROB WHY NOBODY WILL TALK OR ANSWER YOU, MEANING ME BECAUSE I SOUND LIKE I AM YELLING. I WILL CONTINUE TO DO THE ALL CAP'S ON MY JOURNAL, IT'S MINE, BUT DOES THIS, AND PLEASE BE HONEST, BOTHER YOU? THIS PERSON WAS SO MAD AT ME. I AM NOT GOING TO THAT SITE. THEY WERE MAD ABOUT THE CONTENT OF MY POST ALSO, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A QUESTION AND I TRY SO HARD TO BE NICE TO EVERYONE. I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT THEY WERE SAYING, BUT THE ALL CAP'S WAS THE BIG THING. SO PLEASE BE HONEST. I CAN TAKE IT. I KNOW I WONT GET MEAN ANSWER'S HERE. THIS PERSON WAS SO MEAN AND SO MAD, I WAS SHOCKED AND NOT EVER GOING TO THAT SITE AGAIN. THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR REPLIES. LOL

Sorry for the late reply...

Some use all caps as shouting and some just cant understand that a machine has no emotions, cant use body language, cant show expressions, so they assign their own emotions to an email and then get mad at you. I guess that's whats happening... others ASSUME you are angry. Why not just increase your font to make all of your print larger so the pin heads will calm down?

Oh yes, no it doesn't bother me at all.

Ditto above. It's very much the idea of it having been accepted as anger. You can also increase the magnification on the browser under settings (as I do when my eyes are tired).

When Is ee all caps for the whole entry, I just assume either caps lock got stuck or the person has vision issues.

No worries from me.

NO IT DOES NOT BOTHER ME AT ALL. i AM TRYING TO REMEMBER TO USE CAPS IN MY POST FOR THOSE THAT CAN NOT SEE THAT WELL BUT I FORGET . I ALSO PUSH CAP IN THE BEGINNING OF THE SENTENCE AND THE FIRST LETTER COMES UP AS SMALL WHEN I KEEP THE CAP LOCK ON.I GO BACK AND FIX IT.

ALL CAPS ARE SUPPOSE TO MEAN YOU ARE MAD AND YELLING. REALLY SILLY CAUSE YOU KNOW IF IM MAD OR NOT BY THE CONTENT OF WHAT I TYPE. LOL
SOME JUST FEEL ENTITLED TO MAKE OTHERS MISERABLE. I HOPE ONE BAD APPLE DOES NOT SPOIL A GROUP YOU LIKE. DONT WORRY TO MUCH ABOUT MAKING OTHERS UP SET THAT IT MAKES YOU NERVOUS. SOUNDS LIKE THAT PERSON JUST GOT THEIR PANTIES IN A TWIST.

I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL. I AM ONEARMED DUE TO MY STROKE 10 YRS. AGO SO CAPS R A NECESSITY. SO WHAT? I TRY TO BE CONCISE, SO I DON'T HAVE AN ABUNDANCE TO SAY, JUST SO I CAN SAY IT CLEARLY. OTHERS DO IT TOO. TOO BAD.

SOMETIMES A SIMPLE 'I'M NOT SHOUTING [CAPS ARE EASIER FOR ME] SHOULD BE ENOUGH.FOLKS WHO ARE SO SENSITIVE SHOULD GROW UP.
