Please advise what is the correct method for highlighting a key phrase or point within a post?

Large bold type and posting word after word in capitals is considered shouting. Occasionally highlighting something by using bold type - but not increasing its size - is OK as is occasionally underlining. But of course it depends on context. So using same size bold type to flame someone would be considered flaming plus shouting at them. Example: Posting you idiot is not acceptable.
