WHY DOES CAPS SUDDENLY CONSTITUTE YELLING
Remember the fabulous all-caps House community from this wank?  Remember </a></b></a>[info]i_heart_cameron?  Well it seems that having one all-caps community isn't enough wank-bait to satisfy so now there is also [info]capslock_csi and members went around spamming other CSI communities to get people to join. Most posts were ignored but on [info]csi here you can see that a...well.. dumb debate about whether caplocks is yelling broke out. 

Here's a little gem by _fakinglines:
THE OBJECT OF THIS POST IS A CAPS CSI COMMUNITY
WHY DOES CAPS SUDDENLY CONSTITUTE YELLING
THAT SHIT IS RUDE, AND THE COMMUNITY IS FOR CAPSLOCK.


After this little catfight, the few members of capslock_csi crept back to their comm to sulk lick their wounds.

Not a huge wank but extra points for pretending ignorance that people regard using capslock as a form of shouting :X

ETA: Sorry about the format madness, never trust software to make coding decisions for you *le sigh* Should work properly now, tell me if it still goes manky.

Because in the code, for some reason there's a set of span tags that are told to not wrap any whitespace surrounding "capslock_csi and members went around spamming other CSI communities to get people to join. Most posts were ignored but on".

I have no idea how it got there, since I have no idea how [info]sunhawk composed the post, or what to do to fix it, but at least you know what the problem is.

I hate to be at the defence of a wanker, but I love [info]i_heart_cameron for the sole reason that she wrote the best bad House/Wilson fic ever. And because she posts endless Jennifer Morrison picspams.

Long ago, in a galaxy far far away on the Prodigy Science Fiction bbs, there was a bunch of people who spontaneously started playing a parody game called the Borg Intergalactic Conspiracy which, among other things, used capslock for all posts. It irritated the hell out of a bunch of hard-core Kirk fanboys who wanted the entire community to concentrate on how TNC was just ruining Trek. That was fun, and funny. This sounds pretty dumb.

Whenever I see someone TYPING IN ALL CAPS I hear them in my head as talking like a Dalek. It makes my time on the internet very amusing.

YOU WILL USE ALL CAPS ALL THE TIME OR YOU WILL BE EX-TER-MIN-ATED!! OBEY!! OBEY!!!

What the shit?!

One of the guys in the CSI comm looks just like a guy I liked in high school, unless that's not him in the icon. I'm scared, Mommy. Hold me.

Anyway, I AM ALL FOR ABUSE OF CAPSLOCK BUT THERE IS A POINT, PEOPLE. SRSLY.

Maybe it's to cover up the fact that they don't actually know when to capitalise and when not to? If they spend their entire lives text-messaging, their capitalisation skills are probably non-existent.

i prefer capslock to the pretentious emo kids who go the opposite route because oh im just so humble and darn it i just dont care enough about your stuuuuuuuuupid message board to use the shift key except of course when i have to do one of those idiotic *actions between asterisks* things, then im all about the shift key but uh hey thats different or something *waves hands in air to show utter indifference to the mundane, judgemental sheeple who would dare criticize me for not using proper punctuation*

*stabs self in eyes with broken glass*

Also, when people who hate capslock read one of the many fandom abbreviations used around here, like "CSI" or "H/G", do they, for just that brief time, imagine shouting inside their heads? Or is there some sort of baseline that needs to be there before the head-shouting begins, like, 3 words in caps or more?

Aaiiee, wasn't [info]capslock_friday enough? Is the unfunny madness going to infect fandoms one by one?

I used to have a friend who wrote (I'm talking pen and paper, bitches) in all capital letters, so she typed in all caps too. She used to defend her use of typing in all caps as being counter-culture and original, but eventually she got my point about the fact that it made her look like an unrefined n00b.
