I know that it sounds like shouting. I know that for some it's trolling. I know maybe someone wants to make a point. But what is the initial motivation, the brain influence to writting in capitals? Someone attributed it to autism, someone said it's a trend on the internet. Those who are compelled to write in all capitals, what do you have to say about your personal preference to do so? What motivates you to prefer capitals?

frustration.
it is subconscious. we think that something is 'easy to see', meaning understand. the person we are talking to 'doesn't see' our point (understand), so we write it bigger (in caps) to make it easier to see.

A need to make my answer stand out from everyone else's, and prove a point I guess.
