I'm just posting to say that the use of full caps really enhances my understanding of the point. If people didn't post some words in FULL CAPS, I would never see what they meant.
On the other hand, they're possibly unaware that shouting is considered a poor method of emphasis; having said that it must be noted that Hitler employed shouting to great effect.
I'm kind of divided; on the one hand, I'm given to appreciating intellectual endeavour and the consideration of points of facts; on the other, shouting is great if you lack the mental abilities to make a good argument. Just because your intelligence is commensurate with a leaky drainpipe doesn't mean you shouldn't be allowed to shout at everyone.
So thanks, full caps warriors: you help me understand you and, more importantly, you help me instantly identify the window-lickers. It's like avoiding chavs: you can see them coming on account of their XXXX clothes. With forum chavs, you have to actually read a sentence or two to frame them accurately as well.
