A bit of a rant, and this can go for any forums, games, chats, you name it. I want to know why caps makes people so disgusted.
One thing, excessively using it in the chat is obviously annoying because it takes up for space that the average lower case letter and it looks like you're yelling through a chat box. But I'm talking about the one time caps thing where people just use it for one sentence or even a word.
Example:
<p1> Haay.
<p2> Hello.
<p2> *crawls towards*
<p1> DON'T TOUCH ME. *hiss*
^ Yes, people do get mad at that. They won't go on a rampage but they'll say, 'easy with the caps', and what not, when they're obviously not spamming it. Using caps is just to had some humorous effect to some level.
It doesn't happen often, but it still gets on my nerves.
I also don't like to see it when people say they're getting headaches because someone starting talking a bit too much in a quiet chat. Not spamming, just more than average. These people tend to get mad because they like quieter chats for once which is odd because this game is meant for chatting and role-playing.
Example:
<p1> Wow.
<p1> It is quiet.
<p1> You guys alive?
*few moments later*
<p1> Day 2, still no sign of life in the chat box. I am left to feed off scraps of the feedback from connecting users.
<p2> It was better when it was quiet...
<p1> Then go to Lonely Cave.
Chats are better when people are talking. Of course, overflowing, it's a bit too much, but it's better than silence. I usually sit doing nothing because my friends are offline and I like to read off of people's role plays and conversations. (it's not stalking if it's in local)
Yee, so, that's my rant. If you're easily offended by little things, that's okay, that's you, I don't want to change you. But, just try not start a fight.
