LOL. I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM NOT SHOUTING. YOU SHOUT WHEN YOU USE THE EXCLAMATION MARK.
(I.E.)
HELLO. (NOT SHOUTING.)
HELLO!!! (SHOUTING.)

If you have the energy to type the question u just asked, u should have a little energy to hit the Caps Lock key. When you type a report for school you have to do it too. Tp show respect and consideration to others.

Because the convention is that writing in all caps in shouting, that's they way it is, plus it shows a shocking inability to communicate or use punctuation correctly.
Personally when I see something written in all caps I take the person who has written in to be some what more mentally impaired than the majority of internet users.

I HATE HATE HATE when people don't bother hitting the Caps Lock key. Just type in all lower cases. Not that hard.

It's not that hard. It's one litttle reach. If you don't want people to think you're shouting, don't use all caps. Also, don't complain about something you can easily change. I hate it when people do that.

Because that's internet ettiquette. Caps mean yelling. But then you already knew that and are trying to be funny, right?

Big equals loud, thus, we associate big words with loud words.
It's rather simple. So don't let this mystery confuse your brain any longer. There is a light at the end of this post.
