CAPs, bold, and multiple ???, at one time.

The "politically correct" version is, that the use of either CAPs or bold font can be perceived as “SHOUTING" and the use of multiple ??? are unnecessary.

In all three cases, I call it: Rude and immature.

As used, the word, itself could easily be taken as elitist, or insulting.

At this time, I choose to interpret these items, as a simple lack of communication.

Depending on the context, the word “argument”, can be defined as a positive discussion, as it is consistent with the goal of this site.

If everyone were to write exactly what they mean, and everyone read (in context) what is actually there, semantics could not possibly be an issue. Since misunderstandings can happen, they should be recognized as such and dealt with, in a calm/mature manner.

The word can also be applied to a childish pizzing contest.

Contrary to the popular misconception, my choice is always an adult discussion.
