I tend to press and hold SHIFT instead

I think I'm lost with the purpose of the infamous CAPSLOCK comms, besides typing like OotP!Harry Potter would. I go to one and I see silly canon rants, I go to another and I see crackful (and most of the times crappy or tasteless) fanstuff, and I go to some other and they're mocking the idiots with badly-disguised sarcasm. Does it depend on the fandom or the members decide what to be capslock-y about?

I've been thinking about the manganime merchandise I'd love to have one day, probably when I have a job and stuff. Because most of this is expensive:

I find the OP one a bit overwhelming. It might have to do with the fact it's not my kind of humor. The comm's, not the series'. I like silly, but nothing over there made any sense to me or amused me when I checked it.

That's true, though. The CLAMP one, for instance, only has boring sarcasm, and the House one is filled with trolls. At least the OP one looks civilized.

Oh, well yes, I can completely see where it wouldn't be someone's cup of tea. And of course I wasn't trying to be all "OMG U R NO FAN11!1!" or anything, just, uh, throwing in my two cents? hahaha XD

Yikes, really? I've heard vague horror stories, but nothing specific...

That's okay, I didn't read you like that ^^

I've pretty much only heard bad stories about the House capslockers. Actually, I have the feeling my doubts about CAPSLOCK comms come from them and the fact they're almost always around on that fandom's wanks (http://wiki.fandomwank.com/index.php/House).
