The natives are getting restless (Destiny)

There's some irony in you complaining about condescension (imagined, by the way) given your tendency to write angry screeds with words in ALL CAPS for emphasis. Presumably there's nothing condescending about that in your mind?

Nope - if anything, it's me not adjusting to the times.

I still use caps to emphasize - I write forum posts like I write email, like I used to write usenet posts; without thinking, usually, about stuff like bold and italics (which would serve the exact same purpose but wouldn't make you misinterpret my words as angry screeds). Sorry - I'm old. Sometimes, when I'm just writing stuff, I'm not thinking about the lens my words are being looked at THROUGH. (Sorry, through.)

It's funny - I just saw an article about this two days ago - about how periods in text messages are now being interpreted as 'angry'. I laughed - I guess I shouldn't have.
