Do recognise that all of us here are discussing issues that are quite serious and shaping things around us every day. And I am sure each one of us may feel very strongly about one issue or another. But you would agree that we do not necessarily have to type a word or statement in caps to make it more emphatic. In fact, on the contrary and as some of us may already know, anything written in caps is considered disrespectful in the context of internet bulletin boards/ chat forums/ blogs. And probably rightly so because at a minimum anything written in caps appears so very jarring to the readers' eyes. Couple of words in CAPS here and there are of course okay!
May I therefore request that we use CAPS in our messages if and only if it is absolutely necessary?
