I live in a free country whose freedom is from the sacrifices of selfless individuals.

That freedom, imo, includes expressing yourself as you desire.

I personally find all caps annoying but I would not stop someone from doing so (for example, a former president).

I'm tolerant enough to deal with all caps and see it as a personal choice.

But, if this forum s going to start forcing others to conform to what is defined by a small group, then I must insist we all use the Queen's English.

Next thing you know, it I'll be against the rules to mention poutine!

I think we should not allow anyone who doesn't use exclusively premium fuel in their truck on this forum.

It should be renamed "ranger 5g, the exclusive forum for premium fuel rangers"

In all lower case like that so we don't trigger anyone.

As your neighbour to the north, I’d honour that recommendation as long as you do me the favour of also allowing me add the letter “u” to words that don’t seem to need it, regardless of the colour of our politics and any animosity one might harbour toward others who don’t labour so tirelessly or apply the same rigour to the content they post.

First off Poutine.... ? ?:puke::puke::puke: Now that that's out of the way. ?

The user(s) was nothing but a troll. Typing in caps makes absolutely no sense when you think about it. If you're really sight impaired you wouldn't be able to read anyone else's post which are all in lower case letters. I'm not wasting my time looking it up but I'm sure there's programs out there you can instal on your OWN computer which helps those who are really sight impaired.

While some think it's funny with several doing this now (it was at first) you all don't have to scroll through and look at all the threads/posts on here like we do. It's seriously annoying seeing everything in all caps and I know I won't even read any posts anymore that's typed out like this. But I can see where this subject (like most on here) is split down the middle.

Now carry on with your nasty Poutine and your weird spelling with U's added to your words. ??
