OK HERE IS MY QUESTION AND PLEASE BE HONEST.
I HAVE BEEN POSTING IN ALL CAP'S SO I CAN READ IT AND MAYBE OTHER PEOPLE HAVE BAD EYS LIKE ME AND I THINK I GOT MY HEAD HANDED TO ME ON A PLATTER FROM SOMEONE ON A DIFFERENT GROUP. THIS PERSON WAS SO MAD AND MEAN. THEY SAID THAT THIS IS WHY PEOPLE DON'T RESPOND TO YOU'R POST AND THEY WERE SICK AND TIRED, VERY ANGRY, AND MEAN ABOUT IT, WERE TIRED OF READING THE POST'S IN ALL CAP'S. IT WAS SAID TO ME SO MEAN, AND I WAS GOING TO BE ON THAT SITE AND NOW I AM EMBARRASSED, KINDA SHOCKED BY HOW MAD AND MEAN IT WAS PUT TO ME. I WOULD NEVER WRITE SOMETHING LIKE THAT. THAT'S JUST ME. BUT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW, AND PLEASE BE HONEST, IF THIS BOTHER'S YOU. PLEASE BE HONEST. I DON'T WANT TO DO THINGS WRONG OR MAKE ANYONE ANGRY OR UPSET AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW IT. SO I AM ONLY GOING TO DO ALL CAP'S IN MY JOURNAL. I ALWAYS WRITE A DISCLAIMER ABOUT MY POOR EYE SITE, BUT I AM PROB MAKING ALL KINDS OF PEOPLE MAD AND I DON'T KNOW IT. SO PLEASE LET ME KNOW. PLEASE BE HONEST, I CAN TAKE IT. I DON'T THINK ANYONE WILL BE SO MEAN ON THIS SITE. THANK YOU ALL IN ADVANCE FOR THE INPUT. I AM GOING TO DO IT THE NORMAL WAY FROM NOW ON TILL I FIGURE THIS OUT. THANKS AGAIN. AND PLEASE BE HONEST. THIS OTHER PERSON WAS JUST SO MEAN ABOUT IT, I KNOW THAT WON'T HAPPEN HERE. HUG'S TO YOU ALL...

Hi Gimmestength, many people on DS have bad eyesight and they type in all caps, believe me, there is nothing wrong with doing large printing. Please don't let the message sent to you interfere with how you express yourself on DS. If you want to join that group, maybe you could write a little something about your bad eyesight and you will be using all caps, I think you will find most people will be kind and understanding to you. NEVER be embarrassed about your condition or let others intimidate you. Good luck to you. Just to let you know I prefer the large print to the small print........I have a slight eye problem also. Good grief it just dawned on me I wrote all this in small print, lol I am seeing well today..........sorry I forgot to use the caps button. Hugs and smiles to you, enjoy the weekend!! Jean

THANK YOU SOOO MUCH. NO I DON'T WANT TO GO BACK TO THAT OTHER SITE, I DID EXPLAIN AND PUT MY USUAL DISCLAIMER UP, BUT THAT WASN'T GOOD ENOUGH FOR AT LEAST ONE PERSON, DON'T KNOW IF THEY TALKED FOR THE WHOLE GROUP? HOPE NOT, BUT I AM OFF THAT SITE. I DO GET MY FEELINGS HURT AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IVE BEEN REALLY TALKED I WANT TO SAY DOWN TO LIKE A CHILD, AND NOW I AM OFF THAT SITE. IT WAS NO BIGGIE TO GO OFF THAT ONE. BUT IF I HAD TO LEAVE THIS SITE I WOULD BE VERY UPSET, YOU GUY'S ARE AWESOME. I DID NOTICE THAT SOME GROUP'S ARE VERY CLICKY, AND I AM THE NEW ONE, SO I ONLY GO TO A FEW SITES. I AM SO GLAD SOMEONE RESPONDED. I WAS STARTING TO THINK EVERYONE WAS MAD AND DIDN'T WANT TO SAY ANYTHING CAUSE YOU GUY'S ARE SO NICE. I THANK YOU AND BLESS YOU FOR RESPONDING TO ME. I FEEL MUCH BETTER NOW. THIS MEANT THE WORLD TO ME. I NEVER WANT TO MAKE PEOPLE UNCOMFORTABLE, I KNOW HOW IT FEEL'S. THIS IS WHY I LOVE THIS GROUP. LOL p.s. I AM HAVING A GOOD EYE DAY ALSO, I COULD READ YOUR'S PRETTY WELL. HUG'S TO YOU. I LOVE THIS GROUP.......

GIMME, I DO NOT GIVE TWO SHOES IF YOU USE CAPS. IT IS NO BIG DEAL. THAT IS JUST A PART OF YOU, BEING YOU. PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING ABOUT YOU. YOU ARE A WONDERFUL AND UNIQUE WOMAN.
NOW THIS UGLY DONKEY THAT WROTE YOU RUDE WORDS. SHE MUST BE RATHER AMAZING AS THERE SHE WAS WRITING WORDS ABOUT "EVERYBODY.". LIKE SHE IS A SPOKESPERSON FOR A BUNCH OF PEOPLE. WELL I DO NOT THINK SO. SHE DECIDED TO LIE TO SOMEONE TODAY. SO SHE CHOSE YOU.
TRY TO NOT THINK ABOUT IT.
NOW IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO BE HONEST. WOULD YOU PREFER TO BE WRITTEN TO IN CAPS? LIKE I SAY. IT IS NO BIG DEAL. IT IS ONLY A PUSH OF ONE BUTTON.
THE MAIN POINT IS I REALLY WANT YOU TO BE HERE ON WINGS. JUST KEEP ON BEING YOU. OK?

THANK YOU SOO MUCH FOR YOUR RESPONSES. I AM SO GLAD I WASN'T MAKING PEOPLE MAD, AND YES THAT IS ME. I ALSO DON'T BELIEVE THIS PERSON WAS SPEAKING FOR THE WHOLE GROUP, BUT I DID NOTICE OTHER THING'S THAT I WANT NO PART OF. I CAN ALWAYS FIND SOMETHING SIMALER. SO NO BIGGIE NOT GOING THERE ANYMORE. DIDN'T REALLY HAVE A GOOD FEEL FOR IT ANYWAY, TO I DON'T KNOW WHAT? SOMETHING WASN'T RIGHT ABOUT IT. THANKS AGAIN FOR THE SO NICE RESPONSES. IF I CAN EVER HELP OR JUST LISTEN, LET ME KNOW. HUG'S TO YOU ALL. I LOVE THIS GROUP....

DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO...IT WORKS SO USE IT!!!!!

I REALLY DON'T MIND IF YOU TYPE IN CAPS AND WHY SHOULD ANYBODY ELSE ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'VE USED A DISCLAIMER. ONE OF MY FAVOURITE QUOTES REGARDING OTHER PEOPLE IS: 'THOSE THAT MATTER DON'T MIND AND THOSE THAT MIND DON'T MATTER". AS FOR A FRIEND THAT DOESN'T LIKE IT WELL THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE YOUR FRIEND DO THEY! TAKE CARE.

I ALSO HAVE VERY POOR EYESIGHT AND GOT THE SAME RESPONSE WHEN I WROTE IN ALL CAPS. IT IS HARDER TO EMPHASIZE A POINT, BUT AT LEAST I CAN SEE WHAT I AM WRITING. MY NEXT STEP IS TO HAVE MY COMPUTER TALK TO ME BECAUSE I CAN'T GO ANY FURTHER THAN A SUPER-ZOOM SCREEN AND ALL CAPS.

ALL CAPS ARE FINE. SOME PEOPLE ARE JUST MEAN.
