Could you please not use uppercase for emphasis in HN comments? It's basically yelling, and the site guidelines ask you not to: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

Sure, it's just I'd already used italics for quoting and didn't want to mix the two. Could we get bold as a feature as well please?

Ah, gotcha. Bold? Doubtful—that too would make things louder. HN writers have enough textual inventiveness to do without that (and allcaps), if they want to.

IMO your comment would read better and be more persuasive if you'd simply downcase the allcaps.

Don't add bold.
