: Forum Lurker, I believe IZ's Mom intends to use some words in all caps to emphasize the word. Since we can't use italics and we want to emphasize a word, we'll some times go *cookie* or some of us will go COOKIE. Which is very different from TYPING LIKE THIS NON-STOP. I can hardly see how it could be offensive.

: May the Iguana be with you!

I agree. I ran BBS' for many years before the Internet became popular and typing in all caps was considered "yelling". In fact, when you see ME type in all caps, in any case, it WILL be for emphasis.
