Caps

Throughout my whole life as a mine crafter I have always seen one rule flaunt itself across all servers. Vanilla, Bukkit, Survival, Creative, even RP, one rule stays the same throughout, No Caps.

I've always just obeyed this rule and never payed it more than a seconds worth of attention. Not anymore, while I don't wish to challenge the rule, I want to learn about it because I've never known one of the most important aspects of it. Why is this a rule?Why can we not use caps? What ancient custom are we offending? What random person are we hurting? I just want to know what it is I'm doing by breaking this rule, because I'm curious. So if anyone has an explanation to enlighten me, I please ask that you reply to this post and help me out because I'm seriously lost.

I thought maybe I'd get a more CraftyMynes specific explanation but thank you for directing to me to google and taking away the hassle of typing in said question into my google search engine.

Thank you, that makes sense.
