It was way back in 1789, when Zebadiah Johnson, history's first internet loser, established into law that all caps and profanity (then described as "Devilspeak") must be read as rage. - "THERE'S RAGE IN THEM THAR POSTS!!! RAGE, I TELLS YA!!" Pretending text conventions don't exist because you can't own your tantrums is cute. Pretending that all text conventions are set in stone and define reality isn't as cute.

This one was settled quickly.
Cine = Old Man Winter

ALL CAPS mean "rage". LARGE FONT means "rage".
Fucking profanity means "rage".
Ya ever get the feeling that internet losers have no life and the only thing they have to give their existence the appearance of meaning is delusion that they are making a stranger on the internet angry?
Stop yelling it scares me!

Large letters, or caps, is the textual equivalent of shouting. And over-emphasis using big font - depending on context - especially when repeated, can easily suggest anger and defensiveness.

Btw... This would only be true if I was constantly accusing others of being angry when they used large, bold caps. I don't. I'm not that desperate.

^^The author of the worst selling book "YOU'RE ANGRY BECAUSE I SAY YOU'RE ANGRY!"
It's a shame that the tour was cancelled. It would have been hilarious to see: - "Would you like to buy my book?.... 90% off." - "No thanks." - "You're angry!" - "No, I'm not." - "Full of rage!! I can smell it!!" - "I know my own emotions... Trust me... I'm not mad... You're a fool.. You entertain me.. Why would I get a-" - "Seething anger! You're blood is boiling!" - "..." - "I know anger when I see it.... Admit your rage!" - "Jesus... You are so fucking stupid." - "Was that profanity??... A sign of anger!!" - "No it's not... it's just-" - "Calm yourself!" - "YOU ARE A FCUKING MORON!" - "SEE!... YOU'RE SPEAKING IN ALL CAPS!!! THAT JUST PROVES IT!!" - "Wait.... Are you jerking off under that table??!!"

Trying to have a serious discussion with Cine about anything is pointless.

It's a convention that exists probably since the Internet. Ignoring it is like ignoring the rules of language and still expecting others to understand them. But explaining this to someone who believes that the Internet existed in 1789 might be an exercise in futility.

I'm kind of disappointed with myself that I wasted time reading this thread.
Is disappointment all lower case or?

Just so we're clear on this... You know how you always pull that retarded " Oh look! Here's Blade to back you up!... Here's Erjen to back you up"? As if whoever else takes the opposing side that you don't like, or you feel is stupid, has any meaning or carries any real weight in a discussion. Well... You got this guy:
Congrats!
Your side is officially dumber. Edit: Granted.. There is a slight chance that he is just pretending to be this dumb to demonstrate how stupid your "side" is... but.... I'm not really holding my breath waiting to see.

That moment when you get several notification alerts, click the tab and realize it's just the "here what I should have said" thing over and over.
