What is with all the yelling in the chat rooms? :explode: (Sorry for the rant, this has been bugging me for a while)

Yelling = when someone WRITES IN ALL CAPS FOR THEIR ENTIRE POST.

I don't understand why some people feel the need to yell when they post. I understand needing to capitalize a word or phase for emphasis, but the entire thing? Really?

Does this bug anyone else?

    it doesnt bother me at all. if they want to "yell" so be it. READING THIS vs. this, is no louder to me. NO BIG DEAL

    Not really. I usually can tell there mood by what they post. Content is more important that font

    (sorry, but I am cracking myself up. I have the sense of humour of a 10 year old boy, sadly. I'm not done yet, either, so I apologise in advance for about 10 more of these)

    Bothers me a little... also if it is a long post, it makes the entire post difficult to read. But... oh well... :ohwell:

    I like writing in all caps when I'm writing something long so I don't have to hit the shift key to capitalize words. I do it in text messages sometimes too. I don't take it as yelling... The big font is easier to read as well.

    that, and never using punctuation! i don't expect perfect grammar in a forum post, but at least separate your thoughts, people!

    It bothers me also. I find it hard on the eyes. I'd rather a person type in all lower case than all upper case.

    Actually, the capitalized font is harder for some people to read and comes off a bit loud. Hitting the shift key isn't a big deal, is it? Or just write in all lower case. It's much easier on the eyes.

    I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!!!!

    Seriously though, I read those posts in my head as if someone is yelling and it makes my brain hurt...so I usually just skip over them. On a similar note, it drives me bonkers when people use exclaimation points at the the end of every sentence. Again, stop with the yelling! :laugh:

    No. Perhaps the person just doesn't want to push the shift key for new sentences. I actually have never thought about it. I've thought about it. Still no.

    I never knew that pushing the shift key was such a big deal! :laugh:
