Your anecdote doesn’t change anything I said, nor my opinion.

If anything you biased me against what you’re trying to push with your lazy writing style, which is ironic given you criticize what you see as laziness in others.

What lazy? With autocorrect it actually takes loads of effort to get rid of capitalisation.

I’m not commenting on the content of the person’s comments, but in terms of writing style I’ve always shared this person’s aversion to capitalisation letters in (my own) casual communications. I don’t know why, it’s weird. Especially “I” as a personal pronoun. Who tf do I think I am? “i” will suffice for ones modest self.

  because they are mad at me for what i said, and don’t have a legit reason to be so, so they make up stupid shit about capitalization and writing style.
  
  when you can’t attack the content of what was said, you go after the style.

  It’s just widely-agreed-upon conventions to make the text more readable.
  
  Injecting your personal feelings about how English should be written into everything you write is way more selfish than capitalizing “I.”

    Injecting your personal feelings about how English should be written into everything you write is way more selfish than capitalizing “I.” right, so why are you doing that then?

    right, so why are you doing that then? almost like you are directly contradicting yourself here… hmm
    
    It’s not my personal feeling; as I said, it’s the agreed upon rules that everyone else use that I also use to make communication between us all easier.
    
    maybe because you’re one of these folks and you are angry at being called out?
    
    I mean, I’m quite obviously someone who capitalizes “I” for reasons I have repeatedly stated, so I guess? I don’t know why that computes as “anger” for you, but… okay!
    
    let me do you one better, I’ll argue
    
    Holy fuck you used a capitalized “I!” Guards!
