I’m with Balding_Eagle on this.

You’re posting on a forum, where you potentially have thousands of readers. Research shows that it’s easier to read text with proper capitalization, than it is to read text that ignores all the rules. What you’re saying is that your time saving (perhaps as much as a second, to do a couple of shift changes) is worth more than the time it costs hundreds, or thousands of your readers. Such unfounded arrogance!

Do what you will in private correspondence, or Tweets to your followers — but, if you’re posting on a public forum, you’re publishing. Most of us don’t know you well enough to know what an incredible wit you are — so, forgive us if we just think you’re either: (a)arrogant and inconsiderate; (b)ignorant of basic rules of grammar; (c)incredibly lazy — and if you’re a lazy typist, chances are you’re a lazy thinker; (d)trying to be hip and clever; or, (e)some combination of all of those things.

It's giving the reader the finger.

I see USFRIENDINVICTORIA was much more diplomatic.
