I always thought typing in all caps on the internet was universally considered rude and impolite, but apparently some people seem to think it is just a different style of posting that no one should get particularly excited or upset about.
Which is it? I guess different people can have different opinions.

Some of us are old enough to remember when computers had no lower case characters, so the case isn't as important to us.  ;D However, one should follow the "conventions" of the internet in order to communicate effectively. Not doing so creates the opportunity for misunderstanding the meaning. People see shouting when it is not intended, and that raises hackles.
