Whats with the 'YELLING'?

June 12 2015

Hey peoples, just wondering if anybody else has finished reading a profile that's full of all-caps and wondered why on earth the profile owner feels the need to do the internet version of yelling? While I understand the occasional word in caps just to make a point, a whole paragraph of it is - in my opinion - a bit too much. I feel a bit offended, after all I can read and laying out your case in all-caps doesn't change the meaning of the text itself. It certainly doesn't make me think, 'gee, they sound like fun people to be around'. So I'm interested in both the reasons why the all-caps writers adopt that style and if other readers have the same reaction to those profiles that I do.

    Good grief,.....all I can say is you sound like you have FAR too much time on your hands if reading a profile written in all Capitals offends you ! I mean - seriously?? Have you considered that perhaps the Author may have sight problems ? Its astounding that some random person could "feel a bit offended" by an article just because it is written in Capitals,......I really think you need to get out more my friend.

    From the amount of messages received from people who do not match your profile it makes you wonder if anyone actually reads them before deciding to send a message or flirt. Maybe highlighting the one thing that hopefully is read and understood will save a lot of time and frustration for both parties.

    I seriously cant fathom why you would feel "offended" by profiles using caps. The beauty of profiles is that it gives the reader an indication of their personality ( or the personality they want you to see) if the caps annoys you so much, well you move onto the next profile. Simples.

    I read the "YOU WILL BE BLOCKED", "NO TIME WASTERS", etc. as the ramblings from just another jaded member who feels far too entitled and likes the sound of their own voice. Next. You know what bugs me though? People who go: "I'm looking for fun!!!! What are you waiting for??? Hit me up!!!! I promise I won't disappoint!!!!!!!!!!" Sheesh, put down the red cordial, Bart Simpson.

    Just kidding. OP, a man sent me a few messges in full caps and i casually mentioned that he may not be aware of it but all caps is akin to shouting online. I was not offended but just giving the guy the benefit of the doubt that he may not be aware of such. Well, as I suspected, he was not aware of this 'etiquette' as he was a novice in the online world and his Caps Lock key is stuck. Lol. We both had a laugh and he bought a new keyboard. So no drama. And we are still chatting.

    Quoting Meander:Meh, " I read the "YOU WILL BE BLOCKED", "NO TIME WASTERS", etc. as the ramblings from just another jaded member who feels far too entitled and likes the sound of their own voice. Next." Hmmm....interesting observation considering you are a prolific & very opinionated poster here. It speaks volumes about your own sense of self-entitlement & fondness for the sound of your own voice. So, the moral to this story is: Mind how you go now....you know what happens to people in glass houses. 🙈🙉🙊 KKxx - Posted from rhpmobile

    Zomg Steph1985 .. yoúre completely adorable. RHP isn't that much different to newpaper or youtube comments - some insightful, some quirky, some amusing, some WTF, with little bit of snarling and hissing now and then. Best navigated with a wine in hand. Have fun, get amongst it

    Isla (reading from teleprompter): Ing! direct, how banking can be. Director: Ehhh Isla, it's ING Direct. Isla: Ing is in caps, that means it's shouted. Have you ever read a script before?

    WHAT DID YOU SAY! I CAN'T HEAR YOU.......... Perhaps they are trying to be considerate of those hard of hearing. I STILL CAN'T HEAR YOU!! WHAT WAS THAT?????? On the other hand, perhaps they were just tipsy when they wrote their profile and forgot to take the 'Caps Lock' off when they were madly writing their profile. Alternatively, perhaps they think we might have problems seeing lower case and have bad eye sight. Anyway, I STILL CAN'T HEAR YOU..... SPEAK UP FOR PEAT'S SAKE!!!!!!

    Cheers. :-) . I do have some agreement with you, I've seen enough comments in the forums to know how frustrated women and couples get with the way their profiles are ignored. . I don't know about profiles with ALL caps though Sa66. Not at all, I'd have to experience it but it's not likely to bother me too much, even to wonder why. . Peachy

LOLmS_OnTheLoose no strong typing, or need to indicate the type in the weakly cast languages of love and lust. ul64HungarianSausage has room to hold the big numbers, unlike the ucBritishBanger. Type should be implied in the name hungarianSausage will always have the bits over the britishBanger, plus having the prefix really sucks when using code complete. Imagine every time you go to reference a girlfriend (#define g ..) and every ex pops up (strong types), and refactoring sucks especially as you yoyo from g to fb to ex LOL
