Take a look at my post of 7.34 and you will see that my post was not aimed at just one poster, I really wouldn't have bothered had there just been one post.
And yes, current internet etiquette is of the opinion that typing in capitals on social media is rude.
I'm finding the thread quite entertaining.
I understood that the etiquette applied to direct responses or initial posts, where it is considered the equivalent of someone shouting.
However, a heading in a forum is a caption - a banner headline, which is designed to capture attention. Which is a different thing all together, isn't it?
As far as I know, no one ever writes or types a letter in all caps (unless they have an impairment), so it is obviously not the 'done thing' to create a post or message in this way. But a headline or sub-heading? When I write to any organisation where there is the necessity to include identifying information, I often include caps in the heading so the recipient can see it clearly without having to search for it. I am sure they don't think I'm being rude.
Do you think the posters of the headlines are being intentionally rude, or just using the caps as a narrative technique?
That you find the thread "entertaining" makes me think you wanted to stir up a little controversy for amusement.
