No, there are no rules. -
Personally, if you want to type in all caps, anyone that doesn't like it doesn't have to read it. If it's easier for you that should be all the reason you need. If they want to complain about something, let them complain about some of the idiotic q&a.

Unlike pedophilia on the Internet and stalking, using all caps is not a crime. It's generally looked down on though. Personally I don't see anything wrong with it. It's just the Internet, after all.

Not officially. But the unspoken rule is that it is a poor way to communicate with someone in text and creates an instantly negative vibe about the tone of the capitalized material.

I have been to some sites where all caps were considered to be shouting and they frown upon it. Another site I go to has a room for people that like to type in all caps. I find the all caps a little hard to read.

There are only 3 important rules on the Interwebs, the most important of which is Rule 34: If you can think of it, there is porn of it. (Or, If it exists, there is porn of it. No exceptions.) It is, however, generally polite to refrain from using all caps online, except in designated areas, since it's essentially the online version of yelling.
