Because I need a way to keep track of all the crap I need to remember for Sylestia, and my brother wanted to help. :P

From my user look-up
*~~~* IF YOU MAIL ME, PLEASE USE ALL CAPS. OTHERWISE, I MAY NOT READ IT. *~~~*
*~~~* I WILL NOT GIVE ANY OF MY PETS TO ANYONE WHO ASKS. *~~~*

ONE *~~~~~* *~~~~~* *~~~~~* *~~~~~* *~~~~~* *~~~~~* *~~~~~* *~~~~~*
In case it needs to be said - I'm a guy. No matter what it's wearing, my avatar, (like me) is always male. Not always human, but male.

My little brother also plays. His username is Narf. He's autistic and has difficulty with social situations. He has trouble interacting with others, and can be upset VERY easily. He can sometimes act more like a little kid than people consider normal for his age (16). Please try to be patient with him. He's actually really adorable and squishy and I love him to death. XD

TWO *~~~~~* CAPS LOCK IN REGION CHAT *~~~~~* *~~~~~* *~~~~~* *~~~~~*
CAPS LOCK - Yes. I use this a lot. Sometimes I forget I've left it on. Problems with my eyesight (among other issues) make it easier on me. Capitals are larger, more defined, and make it much easier for me to distinguish letters than lowercase - many of which look way too similar. PLEASE don't take issue with this. This genuinely makes reading/ typing easier for me. It is incredibly frustrating for me trying to decipher all the tiny alike-looking letters and asking me to not use caps only makes me more frustrated. And quite frankly, a little depressed. Look at it this way - I'm not asking you to use only caps for my comfort. Please don't ask me not to for yours.

***And to the Anti-CAPS Crusaders who attack anyone on the chat boards, bullying, harassing and threatening to report other users who use CAPS LOCK - My brother got excited over a festival pet he hatched and wanting to share with his "pet friends," typed YAY! when he posted the link. a group of you went after him, and now he's afraid to go anywhere near region chats. So congratulations. For excitedly capitalizing a three-letter word you virtually traumatized an autistic kid with no friends. Nice job.

SERIOUSLY! I have never been on any site that whined about the use of CAPS! I have never heard anyone anywhere else say CAPS count as spam, or their use is reportable. that is one of the stupidest things i have ever seen a chat explode over. And ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE in the terms and conditions of the use of this site says CAPS are not allowed!
