@sid_2019 @airfloo Did you even read #17 properly?
Nope. I just saw the title and the first answers and responded. Did not have the time to read everything.

You want to know why?
BECAUSE THESE ARGUMENTS ARE POINTLESS AND CREATE UNNECESSARY HATE.

Why do you need to use caps-lock?

Asterisk and underscore
So, if we can’t type in uppercase and we can’t actually bold or italicize our words, what can we do to emphasize?

We can turn to some relatively old school technology. In the email client Thunderbird, if you wrote an email using formatting, but decided to send it as plain text, Thunderbird would strip out all your formatting. For some of the formatting, however, it replaced it with a plain text equivalent:

“That sky is really blue” becomes “That sky is really blue.”
“That sky is really blue” becomes “That sky is really blue.”
One option, then, is to use asterisks and underscores. Interestingly enough, you can use them as shortcuts in Microsoft Word and OpenOffice to bold and italicize words. It also works as a shortcut in various other programs, including Ello, WhatsApp, Skype, and even some blog commenting platforms.

So the next time you need to emphasize something on Twitter or Facebook, try asterisks and underscores.

Bold and italics are not supported by Lichess.
I have no idea why you decided to try and argue against me using caps lock.

Because there is an easy *** alternative *** respecting the nettiquette.

Can we ban the French? I know they haven't done anything wrong yet but we all know it's just a matter of time.
Yeah let's ban the French I don't like that opening.

How can i tell, for future reference, what hate is "necessary." I'd hate to hate something frivolously. It's already bad enough that I didn't know that there was a universal nettiquette.

Scroll up for context, @bfchessguy.

Oh, wait, you supplied part of the context. Now I'm puzzled, too.
