Detailed explanation-1: -nothing special–typing in all caps is normal. the message is typed in all capitals. the author of the message has given you permission to forward or post it.
Detailed explanation-2: -Keep in mind that it’s not just what you say that may be considered disrespectful, but how you say it. Text in all caps is generally perceived as yelling, for instance. Either use the shift key for capital letters or write in all lower case-but don’t use caps lock.
Detailed explanation-3: -If someone tells you to stop shouting, it’s another way of saying, “TURN OFF YOUR CAPS LOCK.” When someone is TYPING AN ENTIRE SENTENCE IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS, that person is SHOUTING. It is not proper netiquette to TYPE IN ALL CAPS, especially in e-mail.
