Well, in formal writing, perhaps. As for informal writing, it’s debatable. It’s more like wearing a casual outfit with bold colors, but in this situation I’m not required to be in formal attire, so it’s not a big deal. Comments aren’t the main presentation. Also, in the absence of a way to italicize for emphasis, caps show inflection. Much like bold colors, though, they do need to be limited so as to not overwhelm.
