39. Why get so upset over a change of font

I don't get all the upset over what really amounts to a change in font.

Our keyboards have shift keys. The forum software has these font controls enclosed in square brackets.

What's wrong with using what's there?

I know people think it's shouting or whatever; but that is just so artificial.

Someone shouting in your ear "hurts" your ears.

Looking at caps and bold doesn't "hurt" your eyeballs; so there is no comparison.

Only an artificial "made up" one; people making up transgressions that aren't there so they can complain about them.
