I do like Reddit, probably because I don’t have an account and don’t get any extra emails from them, but I don’t understand what message people are sending when they do this uppercase-lowercase back and forth - is it anything like what we call sarcafont?
And the newest iPhones because we all BuY ThEm At FuLL pRiCe.

Re: Internet etiquette question
I'm oblivious. No clue. Don't do iphones but when I've looked at reddit stuff haven't noticed that. Maybe whatever subject is being discussed?
Well, then

Re: Internet etiquette question
Oh, the comment about the iPhone itself wasn't the issue, but the uppercase-lowercase thing. The thread was about Boomers saying millennials and Gen Z need to start saving more money, like they can, as much as everything costs.
I've since been told by a [millennial] coworker that it is indeed sarcasm, and has something to do with Spongebob repeating what someone else has said in a disbelieving way. They used to include a snapshot of him speaking, though I guess that is technically a meme.
I don't get it, but now I understand that there is some point, so I can quit wondering. Never loved sarcasm anyway, and in print, it's just impenetrable to me.

Re: Internet etiquette question
Well, being a boomer with millenial kids, they ARE saving money. Weird that.

Is "Internet etiquette" an oxymoron?

I am sorry but that was just sitting there and I could not let it pass.

Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.
