I wish they would do something about all the SCREAMING thread titles, while they're at it.

Between the people here who type in all caps and all bolded, sometimes I feel like my head is going to explode. It's very painful to the eyes, not to mention being considered, in the very basic of internet etiquette, in poor form and rude.

Listen , if caps make you feel you are being screamed at, you have issues. A key stroke is silent, people type in caps for a variety of reasons, whoever made that rule up shouldnt have. It is purely psychological.

Uh, no, it's not my 'issues'. It's your basic internet etiquette 101 that typing in all caps or all bolded IS considered yelling and considered in very poor manners. Furthermore, yes, it does hurt my eyes but that's just peripheral to the issue that it's considered unacceptable behavior.

I understand that a lot of people on this board are internet newbies, but to thumb your nose at acceptable behavior is not the answer.

Correct. It's not "issues," it's really rude and obnoxious.

And to insinuate/suggest that it's some silly, unimportant preference that is either recent or only on QVC forums shows a total lack of knowledge of the internet as a whole.

And the cap thing has been around for at least 15 years that I know of. No one here just made it up. LOL

FWIW, I would never start posting here if I was a mod. It's a pretty thankless job, and people are already calling out the mods all the time for one thing or another.
