How sensitive are you online?

I'm not a sensitive person. And I usually ignore those kind of actuation. :)

Hi! There is no question of feeling offended. However, if someone writes all caps, it shows that he does not know the ethics of writing English or English grammar. In other words, writing your text in capital words is considered as 'shouting' and it is not welcomed by anyone. If the persons is close to me and he or she takes my advice in the right spirit, I may tell him/her to use the proper method.

As a general rule online, I tend to avoid situations which might lead to anger and hurt feelings. After all the internet is a public forum, and whatever I publish I tend to really want published: and for me the internet is a place I like to express myself creatively in peace and enjoyment; and therefore not overly controversially, even though I have strong opinions. For me, caution, sensitivity, discretion are incredibly important online. If I'm with relations or close friends and speaking to them on the phone or face to face...that's another matter: I'll be looser - and sometimes also more controversial - in my emotions and speech. The internet is an infinitely wonderful thing; in order to enjoy it to the full as I see it, it has to be respected, because it has enormous power. And so we have been given power we could once only have dreamed of. As I see it, it's a power that has to be honoured and respected, and handled with great sensitivity. It's just one individual's view, but it's the way I feel and the way I'm happiest online.

I have learned to think before I speak so I usually think things through before writing back. One time a few weeks back I let an email get the best of me because it was on the rude side. But I learned from it and swore I would never do that again. I try not to let people get the best of me but I am not perfect either so sometimes it happens.

Hi friend, if the comment is rude and insulting, i will report about the comment, here we have the ability to report about the misleading comments and admin will delete if the comment is violating the guidelines. I am not interested in unwanted arguments, simply i will keep distance from this kind of nasty persons

Fo me I am very moody and i might react to it sometimes when i am in a bad mood and all i will do is abuse.... but I am normally cool person so it will take a lot for someone to piss me off. .. hey you did not tell how you react.. first you must tell about yourself which will make the discussion descriptive.. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead..

I have the same approach because it is so easy for someone to inadvertantly make a clumsy statement or be unaware that typing in capital letters is considered as shouting. I see no benefit in being eager to take offence, if there was none intended then not over reacting will avert a lot of problems. If it becomes clear later that the intention was offensive then you can always change your mind and make a more hostile response.

Online and offline I am more tolerant and patient because I take into account that people don't always mean what they say online. Offline or in the real world, some people may just have had a bad day that's why they said mean things to anyone. I cannot judge without knowing the whole story.

I treat online and offline correspondence similarly. I mean, it's still conversing. And I wouldn't be pleased if I'm shouted at by the person I'm talking to, audibly and in written form (all caps). I don't know if that's being sensitive. Maybe I'm just particular with conversation etiquette :) But in general, I refrain from reacting quickly to the opinions of others. I do try to understand first what they're trying to say just as long as there was no vulgarity used.

I think twice before I feel the caps are to be rude. I touch sometimes the block caps key and I find out after I have written a couple of lines. I used to write it all again, but now I explain, apologise, and go on talking. I found out that if I start cleaning up, I lose control of what I`m sayin and my answer or post is not very good. I am sensitive though when people mean to be rude. They can say rude things wherther they write with caps or not.

I do not judge anyone with the way they use all CAPS in a comment, message or note. It really depends on what is the content of the message being said. I mean someone can respond using all caps but is just telling something ordinary, but just chose to type it in caps. But if somebody sends a message with all caps and the tone of the message itself is something a bit off, then I react to it.

Hi ally, Even I am not that sensitive and don't take all those comments too seriously,I feel its good not to take them seriously as these will only end up stressing you nothing else.

haha, i just don't bother , ether i don't give any response or give a cool answer with which the person also gets cooled. hehe. Other wise try to explain what i actually mean with no offense message in bracket.

Last week I began a discussion in politics. A lot of people have their opinions and some were good, while a few were just down right mean. I was a bit mean, as well. But my feelings were hurt when someone commented on me. I took it to heart and I made an apology about starting the discussion. Others said that I shouldn't ostracize myself when it comes to certain topics on MyLot. So,it's give or take and everyone's entitled to their opinions. I'm learning not to be too sensitive.

If I see all caps I just shrug it off and think the person must have left the cap shift on and it was done mistakingly, after all the downside is with Mylot you cannot re-edit your response when you have hit the post response button. If someone has done it intentionally, it's only words. People think just because they are behind a computer screen it gives them carte blanche to be rude to others without any comeback. I know I am sensitive when it comes to chat rooms, and I hate them with a passion, so I will automatically turn off chat rooms, more often or not you get people using CAPS, bad language and politeness and manners go out the window.

I used to be sensitive about this in the past. I would get hurt when I receive emails or even texts that are all Caps. But then, I noticed that some people are just stupid. Most of the time, they don't know that all caps means shouting. When I'm good, I explain it to them. Otherwise, I just let them be and let them piss others off. Thankfully, I've never been the recipient of an email in all caps that was intentionally made that way. I also use all caps sometimes with a friend, but not to direct anger at my friend, but for example, to emphasize to her that I'm shouting about the thing I'm telling her. And she knows this because I use that when I tell her about my frustrations about my boss. Like I would tell her, "I really can't stand him. HE'S SO STUPID!!!" Other than that, I don't think I've ever used all caps to anyone else.

I get kind of annoyed, because then it's so much more difficult to read and makes me head dizzy. Also, when they write this in a debate with me, I get really offended and well, I find them pathetic. In a cultured debate, people's arguments are not going to get counted more if they write 10000 exclamation marks and capital letters... it's just like shouting and screaming in real life, and that's really trashy. I try to stay calm and collected, but sometimes I just fight back, when I lose my mind.

I think in writing,people expresses their thoughts. But we can not control them of dos and don'ts, as long as they done in professionally. Good day!

I do not get emotional when people start talking in caps, why would I? That is usually a sign of weakness, or a sign that they're a troll. Therefore, not worth talking to if they cannot be rational and clam.
