Why is it considered rude to type questions in caps?

What? What's all this YELLING nonsense?  Yes, I know it is interpreted as an increase in volume, but no one is actually yelling.  Ah yes, all that imaginary shouting that's going on these days in chat rooms across America.  It taxes, vexes and drains me so.  What rubbish.  It's plainly annoying to look at, that's what's wrong with it.  I don't feel like I'm being pummelled by someone else's capitals though.  It's over-sensitivity, my friend, but majority wins so do what they tell you.  Don't feel bad.  I've been scorned for the same reason.

I am Mr. Rude. Go suck donkey nuts! HAHAHAHAA\n\nI'm just kidding. Anyways, some people are rude just to be funny. Sometimes its funny, but when you're looking for an accurate answer, you're gonna hate the guy.

judging by some of the questions that get asked, lots of people do exactly that. I'd say it is certainly harmless, and better than trying to just be rude or inflammatory for the heck of it, because you can hide behind the anonymity here.  I think I might be worse even because I am becoming kind of a "point hog" and now that they are taking away 5 points instead of two for asking a question, I am asking very few.  So good for you, you keep the system going, you don't hurt anybody, and you just let me get 2 points. Thanks.

Do you realize how completely annoying it is when people TyPe LiKe ThIs???  And words like beginnners, stockings, skirts answers all end in S, not Z!  Please, just because this is the internet doesn't mean we need to completely abandon basic grammar, spelling and formatting rules.\n\nThank you.

This is because it isn't formal, and people are trying to answer and ask questions quickly. (I used punctuation and capitals for you!)

It seems that some people when they read words written in CAPS shout them out loud. This is called Syndrome or Textisytis. It is curable by simply telling these geniuses not to shout when they see CAPS! HAVE A NICE DAY! (I hope you didn't yell that!)

I think for any question if someone does not respect the subject, whether it be sports or about life or something, they should not answer.  If they cannot respect the asker's right to ask a question, and if they do not agree or whatever the case may be, they should just keep their little fingers away from typing an answer.

I doesn't make me angry, but it is a general understanding that it means that you are angry.\n\nAlso, if I see a long post that is all caps, I just skip it, because it is annoying to read.  Don't know why, just is.

because people post the same questions over and over with terrible grammar, while the rest of us try to make serious questions.\n\n"Why do people"\n\n\nThis question has been posted many times, use the search feature.\n\n"why people so rude"\n"why people so mean"

I hate it when people are rude on this site!!! People here are looking for information and opinions! They do NOT want the answers to their questions to be junked up by trash talking morons who have no life but to humiliate and tease those asking a question!!!! I agree with you 100%!!!!

If you are using Internet Explorer, go to View, Text Size and left click on Larger or Largest.\nIn Internet etiquette, using all capital letters is considered shouting.

Caps are used to stress something.  In most cases, it's considered shouting.  Ex: WHY AREN'T YOU LISTENING TO ME!!!

It's hard for people to take you seriously when you type in all caps like a raving lunatic.

I like to do it when I am pissed off to show more expression. i'm Just kidding. It's annoying when people do that. I sometimes do it when I hit Caps Lock instead of the a. Like this:  One time I was walking down the sidewalk and I happened to come apon a dog with 3 legs. He sID, "WILL YOU HELP ME GET MY LEG BACK? iT'S AT THE TOP OF THE HOUSE BY THE ROOF." i REPLIED, "YOU MEAN THE ATTIC?" HE SAID, "wHAT ARE YOU A JERK? oF COUSE THE ATTIC!"  so yeah that's when I do it.

Yeah, I think it's really rude. I answer questions so people can get help from them, not for points! So I think it's rude.
