Reverse netiquette

I've been wondering when one should mention a breach of netiquette on the web.  I have a tendency to be blunt, and tell people not to use "u" if they do, or that all caps is screaming. But it's occurred to me that perhaps that, too, is a breach of netiquette.[Poll #1297928][Poll #1297928]

If you're not a mod, I think it's better to reply on-topic but include a remark about the breach of etiquette than it is to reply only about the etiquette.
