I have been known to capitalize from time to time, but it's hardly a frequent occurence. It generally happens when I am, in real life, sitting at my computer, frustrated with the other person. Since this hardly ever happens anymore, my capitalization has also gone the way of the buffalo.

If one of them were to fit, it would be Jekyl & Hyde, but I disagree with the following part of the characterization: "until one day he comes completely uncorked and lashes out without warning. His unanticipated thunderbolts can temporarily rout even the sturdiest Warriors". I don't believe I lash out without warning; rather, I have been known to respond emotionally to people who I feel are very far off base. I also don't believe that it routs, temporarily or otherwise, the "sturdiest Warriors". I don't find myself to be that exceptional.

I have occasionally included profanity for shock value, but not in the manner which you believe. When I say "fuck", I say it because I use the word liberally. I use it to help illustrate a point or emotion, or because I am used to using it and its inclusion is habit, but never to shock, offend or throw someone off. It is simply a part of the way I speak.
