Seriously, in netiquitte, caps are used for emphasis and when you trying to show anger or excitement.  All caps and overuse of caps is sort of rude, it is hard to read, and it demonstrates a lack of concern for others. 
It is a get along sort of thing to play by the rules of the game.  I thought you seemed like a nicer person.

Not mocking or anything like that, actually curious, Why do you choose caps? IMO, It is honestly a little hard to read for me, but thats just my vision when I read sometimes, I dont feel like your necessarily yelling when you type in caps, some people just like to. To each his own really, I just appreciate you not typing like this " Lke i WaS ToOtalLY JusT uBaR FuKD uP" 

Remember guys, what makes a forum fun to post on is great topics and everyone gets along, so lets  :passing-joint: and remember why we came here.

I’m tired of the hate mail. First off, let me say although I appreciate your input, threatening me is pointless, misplaced agression and I largely ignore threats.  I am not picking on anyone in particular, I am trying to help the forum and everyone in it. To Italian Queen and everyone who feels I am somehow singling her out for criticism, you are out of line here.  Sometimes I forget there are newbies on the net, and not everyone has the experience of working as a unix programmer before there was an internet, the use of the internet before there were web browsers or web sites, or 30 years of internet experience.

So, chillax and start here: 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etiquette_(technology)

there is a lot of attention to this on the net.  For example:

It is proper netiquette to refrain from using all capital letters in internet correspondence. All capital letters denote shouting in internet communication. Shouting at other users is not acceptable.
Good internet etiquette prohibits using all capital letters in communication. ‘All caps’ is considered shouting on the internet. Shouting is not polite. Therefore, it is bad netiquette to use all caps on the internet because shouting is not polite.
I was taught to stay away from people who are loud. It often times means they are bad people. Everyone avoids loud people. Using all caps is being loud on the internet. Users who use all caps are avoided. This is a universal rule of netiquette.
The attention that a person gets from using all caps is not positive attention. It is negative attention. People that use the internet regularly are put off by all caps. People who do not know any better, newbies, may be attracted to it.

Internet Etiquette
Using all capital letters in electronic communication is like shouting at someone in person. It is a common technique used by HUSTLERS to get attention.
In reality, shouting at someone is done to get their attention through intimidation. Shouting breaks the standard level of volume and tone, a voice should carry, to force someone into doing something. This is not socially acceptable in a civilized society because it is a use of force not reason.
Shouting at people is unreasonable in most cases. It raises the case that standard text should carry to bully a reader. This is not acceptable in a civilized cybersphere.
It does not matter what form of internet communication you are using, shouting is not acceptable. There are caveats and exceptions. Subject lines, headings, and advertisements are often in all capital letters for readability reasons.
No one likes to be yelled at, but every once in a while you have to shout at someone to get their attention. Therefore, using all caps is bad netiquette because it’s shouting, but is acceptable for certain reasons.
It is acceptable for website heading to be in all caps, but not personal messages. All Caps is popular on classified advertising and auction websites because it is a good way to make your ad stand out. I do not recommend responding to ads with all caps.

Netiquette
It proper netiquette to refrain from using all capital letters, ‘all caps’, in internet communication because it is unacceptable to yell at people in a civilized society or cybersphere. Do not digitally disrespect others by using all caps. It is rude.
Everyone could use a little netiquette!

It isnt hard and it makes for a more civil and ultimately more pleasant experience for everyone if you play by the rules.  You can, of course, say anything you want or act in any manner you wish but if you want peeps to take you seriously or give a crap about what you say, it is better to at least attempt to get along.

I was not criticizing you ngls.  I was merely trying to defend iq cause from my point of view they is a lot worse things than a lady using caps locks.  Sorry if I offended you or if I was out of line.

No offense taken from anyone, really!  You guys are all amazing wonderful peeps.  Im really sorry if it sounds like Im pissed–sometimes I sound that way but never at any of the spiced gang. 
TB, I really admire what you are doing in your life right now–I am REALLY not pissed at you for anything. 
To all: Im very sorry if I sound like I’m aggressive or angry.  Im really a get along kind of person and I want the best for everyone.
