SHOUTING!!!!
« on: February 13, 2009, 01:31:55 PM »
            Thank you for posting your recent messages on the Cadillac & LaSalle Club, Inc.'s Message Forum.  These messages are typed with all of the letters capitalized.  Typing a message in all capital letters is considered as shouting.  Although there is no need to modify your messages at this time, I would request that you not type your future messages in all capital letters. Thank you in advance for assistance in this matter.

Online Manners - DON'T SHOUT
More internet etiquette tips: Whether you're sending emails, chatting online, or using an instant messenger, using ALLCAPS is referred to as "shouting." While it is permissible to occasionally use ALLCAPS to emphasize a point, people find entire sentences written in capitals hard to read. As a result "shouting" online is considered rude.

If you don't agree, then here is the link to Online Manners and Etiquette:

I will second the fact that all Capitals are shouting, and at various times, people have to be educated in such etiquette. 
 
Sometimes, the Moderators need to inform Posters.
 
Better that than Editing a Message, only to have the Poster complain that their message has been altered.

SOME people get very nasty when that happens.

When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation.

Hello,
 I'm not a stickler for using caps or not using caps but I remember reading this post a while back and figured it was a little funny after reading this headline story on foxnews.com 
 Click on the link below and you will see what I am referring to.
