But I think Rebel makes a good point. It has become so ingrained in internet etiquette over the last 20 years that using all caps is rude and/or indicative of yelling, that I think it points up a poster's unfamiliarity with the internet when he/she does so. Or else the person is just being arrogant.
Early on, a friend of mine was blocked from a sailing chat forum for refusing to drop the all-caps posting style.
Most blogs that I subscribe to disdain the use of all caps in the comments section. I find the all-caps posts hard to read.
