Using all capital letters in electronic communication is not unlike shouting at someone in person. It is a common technique used by HUSTLERS to get attention AND THOSE WITH VISION PROBLEMS.
It does not matter what form of internet communication you are using, shouting is not acceptable. There are caveats and exceptions. Subject lines, headings, and advertisements are often in all capital letters for readability reasons.
No one likes to be yelled at, but every once in a while you have to shout at someone to get their attention. Therefore, using all caps is bad netiquette because it's shouting, but is acceptable for certain reasons.
