I am not attempting to override admin authority, far from it. But User:Shambala108 herself reminded us all of Thread:223085 just yesterday. I'm hardly making it up out of thin air or going behind admins' back when I remind you not to overquote — which, besides, is also a matter that affects me as a participant in this debate. This rule is there for a reason, namely that it makes the thread hell to read for other people after a while.

It would be wrong of me to give you orders, or threaten to punish you, but I hardly think it's overstepping to remind you of some Wiki policy and to make polite requests. I didn't say, "Hey! You! I order you to stop using all-caps!". I said, "Please don't use capital letters like that." It was a polite request, and a partially personal one. It makes the debate's atmosphere less pleasant for everyone if people start Internet-shouting.
