jbg Posted April 24, 2011 Report Posted April 24, 2011 WHY ARE YOU TYPING IN CAPS???? He's trying to show how strongly he feels; just like people who curse on the forums. Quote Free speech: "You can say what you want, but I don't have to lend you my megaphone." Always remember that when you are in the right you can afford to keep your temper, and when you are in the wrong you cannot afford to lose it. - J.J. Reynolds. Will the steps anyone is proposing to fight "climate change" reduce a single temperature, by a single degree, at a single location? The mantra of "world opinion" or the views of the "international community" betrays flabby and weak reasoning (link).
jbg Posted April 24, 2011 Report Posted April 24, 2011 Not a strong writer, I guess. You don't think that "shouting" in all caps and cursing is a sign of strong writing or strong convictions? Or do you see them as a sign of immaturity? Quote Free speech: "You can say what you want, but I don't have to lend you my megaphone."

bloodyminded Posted April 24, 2011 Report Posted April 24, 2011 You don't think that "shouting" in all caps and cursing is a sign of strong writing or strong convictions? Or do you see them as a sign of immaturity? Rightly or wrongly, I think the "all-caps" method turns people off a little. Cursing, I personally think is fine, but is best done occasionally and with a modicum of restraint. Quote As scarce as truth is, the supply has always been in excess of the demand. --Josh Billings

Cursing, I personally think is fine, but is best done occasionally and with a modicum of restraint. I don't do chat - never did. I've done caps in some threads. It's easy to forget that caps mean shouting....and all I wanted was to emphasize my point or statement. So now I tend to enlarge the font...hope that doesn't mean cursing. Quote
cybercoma Posted April 24, 2011 Report Posted April 24, 2011 You don't think that "shouting" in all caps and cursing is a sign of strong writing or strong convictions? Or do you see them as a sign of immaturity? I think a soupçon of cussing is fine. We're not giving a formal address here. However, having to type in all caps or size 6 font with underlining just shows that you're not a strong enough writer to get your passion, anger, whatever across with your writing on its own. Quote
mikedavid00 Posted April 25, 2011 Report Posted April 25, 2011 Only around 10% of Canadians have another language as their mother tongue. Just thought I would point that out. https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/ca.html Languages: English (official) 58.8%, French (official) 21.6%, other 19.6% (2006 Census) Quote ---- Charles Anthony banned me for 30 days on April 28 for 'obnoxious libel' when I suggested Jack Layton took part in illegal activities in a message parlor. Claiming a politician took part in illegal activity is not rightful cause for banning and is what is discussed here almost daily in one capacity or another. This was really a brownshirt style censorship from a moderator on mapleleafweb http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1oGB-BKdZg---
