It would only be shouting if they _were_ words.
(Though I would disagree with that assessment of them. Capitalizing
words for emphasis is perfectly acceptable; I don't know why it has
such a bad rep on Usenet. Capitalizing entire sentences could be
considered shouting, but the main reason against it is that it is
hard to read.)
