Damn, I need to vent for a minute.

Imagine this: Some dude owns a house in a neighborhood with an HOA. He refuses to cut his grass and people complain that it's ugly and hurting the appearance of the whole street. He responds by saying, "If it bothers you so much, don't look at my house."

That's what you're doing.

Typing in all caps is still disrespectful and makes you look like a moron... so I have a better idea. If the fact that I'm calling you out on it all the time bothers you, STOP POSTING IN ALL CAPS.

well guess wat... RESPECTFULLY this isn't an HOA no one here pays a monthly fee to be on the site. no on signed a contract saying they cant post in all caps. and if it was an HOA who made u president? exactly no one, u may have been in the "squad" longer than me but u have no authority to tell me i cant type in all caps.

also how is it disrespectful to type in all caps? it's not like im calling everyone as$holes, duchebags, cocksuckers, and or anything like that i have nothing but respect for everyone in the "squad". cuz from day 1 when i made my first post in this section i was showed respect and i have in return given respect to everyone's ideas and opimions. i believe that u sir are the moron for continually hounding me about typing in all caps, i have even told u the first time u said something about typing in all caps that i was at work. darryl even clearly stated that i was probably at work. and next time u should come up wit an idea of comparing something, let it be something other than an HOA to compare this site/section to.

Because it's equivalent to yelling, and it's against all universally accepted internet communication standards. (It's bad protocol)

Here, Wikipedia has an article on Netiquette.

Clearly this is where the problem has been the whole time, you don't see that you're doing anything wrong, and apparently because I'm the only one willing to point it out to you.

The thing that amazes me is, if you have enough spare time at work to browse web sites, you certainly have enough time to turn off the caps lock.

Honestly, my comparison works without the HOA. It's just a concerned neighbor (squad member) trying to make something better, and the other guy doesn't want to hear it.
