Read this and shut up about it

I know some of us joke about the Grammar Police, but, jeez:

An Auckland accountant was sacked for sending "confrontational" emails with words in red, in bold and in capital letters.

Vicki Walker, who was a financial controller with ProCare Health, has been awarded $17,000 for unfair dismissal, and plans to lodge an appeal for further compensation.

[. . .]

ProCare told the authority Walker - who was fired in December 2007 after two years of employment - had caused disharmony in the workplace by using block capitals, bold typeface and red text in her emails.

I hope you aren't upset about having to read this story. But if you are, I DON"T REALLY CARE, BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT THE BOSS OF ME, OK?
