I'll bust a CAPSLOCK on you... / myLot

CAPSLOCK can be a very dangerous weapon. It can signify aggression. It also means 'truth'. Only true statements on the Interwebs are CAPSLOCKED. This can plainly be seen in instances where there are disagreements, and one user will suddenly CAPSLOCK the other to prove their point. Forget using bold, italics, or underline. CAPSLOCK means you have lost the argument. There is no defense against CAPSLOCK. If someone CAPSLOCK you, just pick up your toys and go home. You lost. I wish I had known this before...I would've used CAPSLOCK first.

That is so true! I rarely ever use capslock because I don't want it to appear that I am screaming at someone. See, I didn't even use it on capslock

IF I SHOUT LOUD ENOUGH, IT MUST BE TRUE!!! (Did you know that the formatting codes simply cause the text to disappear if they are in caps?

Strange how the 'codes' don't work unless they are small case

I DO NOT like capslock. I can express myself without using capslock.

"beat your butt" kind of makes it a separate entity.... how is it done?

I don't have the energy anymore to even care if someone comes at me with their CAPS on. I just move along as if those words weren't even there.

Using all capslock once or repeatedly can get you banned on many sites, the least is a warning or angry comments from people where you are at.

Surely all-caps (or capslock) can be a dangerous tool, especially because it's mentioned as never tolerated in guidelines. (Using all-caps, excessive punctuation, or "text speak").

I used to use CAPSLOCK for emphasis before someone shared how to use bold or italics or underline.

I usually use Caps if I'm pissed at something or someone or if I am too excited about something. :)

I am italics all the time. But at times bold is beautiful, far more than anything.

If the interwebs says so, it must be true! There are no lies in the interwebs, only truths! Same thing about multiple exclamation points after a statement, it has the same effect as CAPSLOCK!!!
