Random, but i'll ask

How do judges view "erratic" typing. like caps lock, !!!!!!! kind of stuff. Had a pretty interesting conversation via email with the ex, and she starts capslocking and beating the ! key to death. Just wondering if judge interpret that the way we perceive such things.

Do they notice trivial little things, like explosive anger behind the screen?

With me, point of perception. Depends on who it is. I think you would have to know that person, to access wether their being irrational or not.
Just my opinion.

So, what your saying is.. Judges don't speak fluent nj.. Gotcha. Just wondering for personal use only.

I think its more of what NJ says that would be relevant. For instance, which one would a judge look at as threatening below?

Nj: I WILL MEET YOU AT THE MC D'S TO PICK UP KIDS AT 2PM. BE THERE ON TIME.

Or

NJ: YOU BETTER BE AT THE MC D'S WITH THE KIDS OR YOU'LL REGRET IT. YOU LEAVE ME NO CHOICE BUT TO DO WHAT I HAVE TO DO.

I actually know someone who types with one finger with caps on.

I am not a lawyer but I think that it will all come down to the context. Things taken disconnected from other events are hard to prove. Anger in a divorce is common on both sides so just showing she was angry will not help much unless there is context that it is completely over the top in relation to something in particular.

Just my 2c

The judge in my case wears saddle oxfords and a straw hat (no, not the Huck Finn type). He has little hair on his head and wears a full beard. My lawyer tells me that's "his look" and that everyone in the legal community "knows him for that." It's anybody's guess how a guy like that might interpret excessive use of exclamation points (where one would suffice) and all-caps. Sayin'.

I was wondering if they would pick up that shes a loose cannon. My atty has given me permission to email her whenever, since I do not respond angrily or emotionally, but tend to get angry responses for my matter-of-fact emails to her.

Ex: we are currently debating our current summer agreement. I forgot we had just switched weekends for fathers day. When i emailed her telling her summer officially agreed and I wanted to start exercising my parenting time as of June 21st, it went something along the lines of "I just switched weekends for you!!!! You will not take my switched weekend!!! Did you forget!!!! She also included my name, as if I am being scolded like a child, which she only does when shes mad..

Where I acknowledged she was correct and I had forgotten, and that it would begin the following weekend. The next email did not include !!!!!!!! so she calmed her happy < hindquarters > back down and resumed normal communication without such enthusiasm..
