I think it's you who has to go see the doctor if you think that being annoying is funny.

I used to be admin on a forum where people would keep complaining about this one guy who would only type in caps. i always felt more inclined to ban the whingers than the caps guy (but i had a strict policy of no bans, no deleting, no locked threads etc)

Err, if you didn't ban people, delete things or lock threads, then what exactly did you do as an admin? Scare people with empty threats?

Caps are harder to read because our brains actually read the shape of the word. When its all in capitals we can't do that so it takes longer to read. People aren't just whinging when they ask you not to type in caps. Its annoying, just like leet-speak, abysmal spelling and grammar, or any other form of poor writing.

Grow up and stop trying to irritate people, look where it got Axipher ;-)

i love turning on caps lock once in a while, then i sit back and laugh hard as people start screaming 'TURN THE @£$£ CAPS LOCK OFF YOU TURD!", some people get upset over the simplest things

Do you go up to people on the street and yell loudly at them, then have a good laugh as they get irritated by your behaviour? Just because it's easier to do on the internet doesnt make it any more acceptable.

Exactly. Plus having been making use of the internet for a long time makes yourself react in a very specific way, that's called conditioned stimule (sic?).

As in for almost 7 years I've seen caps used in forums, IM and emails just for shouting, so, automaticly, I read all-caps and my brain turns the message into a shouting.

I agree..
Typing in all caps is stupid, and there's no excuse for doing it.

I find it helped me in QB to seperate commands from other stuff and it just became a habit that seemed to continue in FB.
