I dislike that this meme from IRC became so commonly repeated. I did not agree with it 20 years ago when just a few people repeated it, and I do not agree with it now. Capitals were wonderfully used by Pratchett as the voice of one of the characters in written text. And the late Christopher Lee did a wonderful interpretation of that character. Cyrillic letters for example resemble capitals in that they have a constant height and are generally more square and if anything that doesn't make them more difficult to read, just different. Actual shouting hurts my ears. It is about a thousand times more annoying than reading capital letters. I think the real equivalent of shouting in a text media is the hated blink tag. With some bright neon colours. On black background. In a dark room.
