I do indeed hate people who use all caps. For one thing, the sole reason capitalizaton was invented was to make text easier to read, and capitalizing every letter defeats the purpose of the whole thing. Further answering, I also hate people who emphasize the word hate as though it were something to be proud of. Finally, I hate self-righteous pontification in response to utterly pointless polls.

Italics rock, man.

I most certainly do hate people who use all caps. However, I also hate pointless polls, and as such will not dignify this one by voting in it.

I agree with the shouting and rudeness. Hadn't though of the lisp thing. That works though.
How about Underlining ?
