I didn't argue your point about The Police. I, in fact, never addressed your statements about the band whatsoever — I merely meant to suggest that if you want people to read your posts and hear your opinion, whatever it may be, you'd benefit from turning off the caps lock, using punctuation, not calling people names, etc. Otherwise, people may perceive you as an inarticulate stooge with a victim complex who seems to think this site is somehow affiliated with The Police.
Just sayin'.
Stop shouting. Online TYPING IN ALL CAPS is considered shouting and is frowned on in most cases. In print, shouting is never worse than when it is done with decorative or script typefaces. It’s ugly. It’s hard to read. Just don’t do it, PLEASE!
