I reject the dichotomy. We can acknowledge that the situation is very bad without deciding that it's OK to scream at people.
You're right, caps lock is the real enemy. How could I have been so wrong? Let's ignore everything because of that. Bars should open, as long as everyone whispers we're fine.
