Why do conservatives use caps to type out EVERYTHING THEY SAY..?
I MEAN REALLY. DO THEY NOT REALIZE THAT IT'S YELLING?

:rofl:

just curious as to what reasons you think?

For me I think it's a comprehension thing. Easier for them to understand all the words if they are caps?

1. It's to disguise the fact that they have no clue which words to capitalize and
which not to.

4. They can't spell, and don't know anything about capitalization...

Or punctuation. They think the all caps deal saves them. Stupid on stupid with stupid on the side.

I'd feel badly about saying that if spell checkers weren't on every street corner in the InterTubes.

5. I think they realize it's yelling
Conservatives are consummate bullies. They think all they need to do is yell enough at people and they'll get their way. They'd resort to their old habit of beating people into submission but so far that's not possible over the Internet.

7. this is not limited to conservatives unfortunately
I have seen this on message boards that have nothing to do with politics. Its very annoying and I don't care why they do it.

8. it's to cut through the clutter. They realize that what they say is more important
...than what anyone else has to say. So they put their statements in (usually misspelled) ALL CAPS so that you can see their post for the critically important thing that it is. It's axiomatic: the only people who type in ALL CAPS are generally the only ones who don't see what a moron it makes them appear to be.
