I think there are times when it is appropriate to raise one's voice, and I'd prefer to be allowed to make that choice myself when the time comes.

I think it's good to let people know that it is considered shouting when caps are used so they understand proper etiquette, but somewhat inappropriate to tell folks they shouldn't use them. It isn't even like it really hurts your ears, but merely provides a strong emphasis.

I will reserve the right to raise my voice when I think it appropriate.
