STOP YELLING

I have another theory. Bear with me here.

The internet is an anonymous medium so people are very lax about looking at horse porn, spouting their own retarded opinions that are wrong, and generally typing horifically. You've all seen it. Ppl who type lik dis an use craaaazy abrev. lol ttyle wtf? But there is something even worse than AIM-speak. Something more annoying, more basic, and which infringes upon the most fundamental of netiquette rules.

IT GOES A LITTLE SOMETHING LIKE THIS. NOTICE ANYTHING WRONG WITH THIS PARAGRAPH? ARE YOU READING IT OUT LOUD IN YOUR MIND? LIKE, REALLY REALLY LOUD! HOW ABOUT IF I WRITE "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!"

My theory is that there are two types of people who type like that: those who are aware that they are doing that, and those who aren't. For those who are aware, well, it's their choice to be ostracized by all the internet and remain a pariah in the real and virtual worlds. Losers! But for those who aren't aware, I think perhaps that at some point they hit the Caps Lock key and then could never figure out how to turn it back off. One day they're typing along happily and all of a sudDEN OOPS! NO MORE SPEAKING QUIETLY! TIME TO WAKE UP THE NEIGHBORHOOD!
