I never understood why people get their panties all up in a wad when people use all caps in chat or on message boards?

IT'S JUST LETTERS ON A SCREEN!

Because it denotes yelling, is harder to read, is annoying to read... and lets face it... we aren't on manual typewriters here.

Many internet nerds have OCD and anxiety disorders and so by using all caps they feel like they're being yelled at and may lead to public rampages with guns.

I realize it's implied meaning is to denote yelling, but, no one is actually yelling. What if someone just did this? That's kinda the same thing.

Man that really upset me (yelling)

People who talk in all caps all the time are probably the same people who drive for miles with their signal light on yet never turn or change lanes.

all of the above, plus typing in caps is a sure way to convey the impression that you're a simpleton.

LOL...that's funny.

My point is that it's just letters on a screen. No need to get all pissed at all caps.

It suggests you are very stupid and do not know where the caps lock key is.

Or that you use AOL.

Actually, that's the same thing.

No it isn't. In several cases I have questioned the person only to find out they are too useless at the typing to properly use the shift key so they leave their caps lock on all the time in order to avoid having to type properly.

It may "just be letters" but you can't seriously be saying that it doesn't look absolutely retarded when someone is chatting or posting in all caps. Even when I was a raw newb to the internet it didn't take me long to figure out that people doing it made themselves look like idiots.

Doesn't get under my skin so much, but it has been known to cause me to roll my eyes and shake my head at their utter stupidity and/or laziness from time to time. :D
