CherryBomb said: I'm also not trying to suggest that because a person uses little or no capitalization or punc, that they have no personality, they just just a less colourful personality.
Like jeans and a t-shirt compared to a hardcore punk or something. But just because someone is 'jeans and t-shirt' doesn't mean that they're boring.
There are all kinds of different t-shirts. I wear t-shirts. But sometimes I wear toe socks and gillette always tells me that if she is ever shopping for me, she'll go find the one thing that looks absoloutly rediculous, and I'll always love it. My favourite sense is nonsense.
It is a little bit of a few things all mixed together in a "expressive alphabet soup" if you really want to analyze it.... It has to do with: personallity/charactor, style/creativeness, ego/passiveness-agressiveness, articulation/vocabulary, how colorful you are actually able to paint the picture, and lastly actual experience of putting thoughts thru text.... Maybe there are more factors that I am missing, like actual typing ability...? LoL 34yrs, and I am still a hunt and peck typer...! . I am also a bit of a perfectionist - as a trait, not just in typing.... There are certain werds~ that I purposely spell wrong because I think Mr. Webster went a little too far in some of the exotic ways and alternate spelling for the same sounds in our language.... And I am a rebel DaMMiT...! LoL Heeeeeh.... 
I am also the jeans and T-shirt type, but I prefer jean shorts summer and winter (inside).... Outside in the winter I where jeans of course....
It is funny that I have noticed a few people that kinda~ stick out in my mind as having distinctive styles when they post, with certain nuances or "text traits".... I have not been on as much lately, but I remember a few people that stood out enough for me to write this - without actually going and sneaking a peak at how they write them....
GDMan for instance.... <SmerK~> He almost always has two consecutive single sentence posts for each of his answers.... He answers with a very simple and clear answer.... Twice.... But I think hidden deep in his subliminal mind, he also seems to strives for the high postcount score....! HeeHee
ToiletDuk, To me, it doesn't matter what he says because when I see that funny picture of that RaBBit-Cat smoking a cigarette, it makes me laugh every friggin time it pops on the screen....! 
BabyHitler, thru my eyes - very bold theme indeed...! I am not offended personally, but I have wondered if there were people that might get offended by it all....? That bouncing car with Hitler in it is so absurd...! Very creative if he/she made that themselves....
FuckKnuckle(sp?), I remember the posts like: "Man, get off your soapbox/pedestal, get yer~ head out of your ass, take a chill pill and smoke some weed man...." And the person *usually* replies with: "Yeah, your right, I need to chill out, I am just in a bad mood...." (This is all general speaking, not verbatem).... It's like a slap in the face, then he passes you a peace pipe offering.... LoL . Seems to be effective...! The power of the suggestion of weed.... Very calming indeed....!
WiccanSeeker, I really like reading his posts...! He is VERY THOROUGH in the information he lays out almost like a formal document - going way in depth, and arguing with himself out loud to prove both sides of a point.... Each post is peppered with the evil grins , with funny short bits of intelligent sarcasm.... He is also very passionate about certain topics that he has had to deal with in his life, and bravely tries to emphasize a strong warning to people considering experimenting in one of those topics.... I dunno~, I find most of his posts on substances very interesting, and I like his sorta~ opinionated and sometimes aggressive style of getting his point across.... 
TomK, AKA The Dream Leaf DoooooD, it is always cool when you make a comment to someone, and they use that for everyone to see....! For the record, I had deemed him "The Dream Leaf Doooood" after he posted a very descriptive write-up on Dream Leaf (Chalea Zacatechichi), and his extensive experiences with the plant.... I always appreciate reading his style of articulated and well thought out posts....
Then there is the HeavyToilet.... It just makes me wonder.... How heavy is the toilet....? And if the answer is that the toilet is really really heavy, it makes me wonder if the saying: "Quality is better than Quantity" applies to this type of thing....? But I guess whole notion of "Quality, Quantity, and Heavy Toilets" is a kinda~ strange combination for an actual discussion....!? And just for the record, I don't like being hit.... 
~Desiree~, always impresses me that when someone publicly says something negative to/about her (sometimes for no apparent reason), and she is always able to take it in stride, keep her cool, and not get involved in wasting her time on these types of people lookin to "stir the pot"....! Somehow I find it kinda~ classy in my book.... 
TastySmurf always has the duty of posting the "Only Girls Celebrate Post Counts" picture for those obsessed with the number of posts they have....! It is such an innocent and funny way to apply a generous smack down for those "on a mission to get a high score".... It always makes me laugh out loud, and I have never seen anyone succesfully recover with a post after that....!
It is kinda~ strange when someone changes their avatar.... The association of the picture to the name must be pretty strong for me because it takes a little bit to get used to a new one.... It is also confusing sometimes trying to figure out if some people are male or female.... When someone has some sort of female image or feminine avatar, for some reason my brain wants me to automatically think that the person is female.... Speaking of avatars....
Ellmyshade, I noticed that you changed your avatar and I had a question for you.... I wondered if you did it on purpose, or if it was a subconscious symbolic thing that just happened....? When you finally broke thru on your successful aya voyage, it seems that about the same time you changed your avatar.... It really shows how profound of an effect it had on you and your life to change how we all perceived your presence on the boards - if you read into it a little.... I dunno~, I thought it was pretty cool.... 
One other funny thing I notice, when people have naked chicks in the pictures of their sigs, or avatars (some of them are even moving booobs and stuff...!), I can never remember ANY of the screen names of those people....!!! LoL I guess my attention goes mostly to the naked chick pics in those posts...! LoL . (Insert "typical guy" comment here....!) That's ok, I like to read the pictures.... 
Ya know, I don't know why I typed all of this on a seemingly passing thread....!?? Guess I just understood what CherryBomb meant, and had a little time to spare...! LoL . I do think it is pretty neat that everybody has a distinctive personality that shines thru with how they happen to plant those little black and white letters (depending on your color scheme).... There are definitely people that I have missed here, but I need to go to bed....!
Y'all have a happy Thanksgiving....!
