I don't think it's rude, per se. I don't make the leap that people are yelling, but I think it's harder to read,. If folks do it so they don't have to worry about capitalization, I would rather people not use caps at all than post in all caps, since both are incorrect.

If my skin ever gets so thin that I request more governance over something as insignificant as using all caps, I beg of you all to put me down.
Hi Jack,

Let's get Alex Baldwin on your speed dial, eh?

Best,
Phil

Says the one who started a thread about members who complain about the quality of their truck. :shock::lipssealed:?

https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/constant-quality-complaints-in-forum.25130/
Let me clarify something here. My point in that original "complaint" thread was that while there are some very serious, and legit complaints on this forum, there are a shitload of trivial complaints as well. Most importantly, I did not even remotely attack any specific individuals. Nor would I ever do so.

This thread however, looks to me to be a blatant attack some some specific individuals. Personally, I don't find that acceptable.

Just my two cents.

You know the Bauhaus movement attempted to remove caps and only wrote in lower case. It's still seen as artsy-fartsy.

Eventually, the oversimplification of the font to only be lower case gave rise to using bold to show the start of a new sentence. But that contradicted the simplification since a bold face is a new font, no different than caps.

Anyway, I'm on a TANGENT AND FULL OF CRAP.

NOW TO GO DETAIL SOUPIE AND USE MORE GRAPHENE AND FINANCIALLY CONTRIBUTE TO @AzScorpion'S LAVISH LIFESTYLE ...

It's interesting that we consider it rude, myself included. I guess it is the easy way to convey anger in type rather than trying to figure out how to underline, italicize, or boldface. I think it should be self governing, I don't think a post or poster should be deleted; we seem to do a righteous job of flaming them as it is!
