[wp-forums] Capitalising words every so often

[Joni Mueller]

If the whole sentence were capitalized, I could see that being construed as shouting.  As it is now, it is just emphasis.  I use the old throwbacks of *asterisks* surrounding words that i want to *emphasize* since most forums and other applications parse that to bolded text.

If I may speak frankly, I think you are being uber sensitive about this. I think it's a really insignificant bone to pick.  If the poster's (or whoever it was) syntax bothers or offends you, it's time to step back and take a break. I do that very frequently for that same reason. :)

Subject: [wp-forums] Capitalising words every so often

I'm going to use an excerpt of a post that I found on forums for an example:

" Just so I can progressively understand the human mind...WHY would you NOT want your website to be Mobile Responsive???? "

Do you find you read those capitalised words as though the author was shouting?
I find I shout when I read them (in my mind).

I know it's petty but people may feel more welcome if it was substituted with something less rude, like bold or italicised letters (if it was concluded that those are less rude).
