AIBU?

To silently judge all those with non capitalised usernames

Consider these two usernames:

  • QuacksLikeADuck
  • quackslikeaduck


IMHO the first one is clearer, easier to read and just looks better!

AIBU to judge a username by its capitalisation and to secretly attribute the following characteristics to the owner of said username...

People with capitalised usernames are:
  • More organised
  • More punctal
  • Neater


People with uncapitalised usernames are:
  • Scatter brained
  • Always late
  • Messy


And even if your username is only one word it should still start with a capital letter!

OK I know IABVVU, and I am probably offending a good 50% of you right now! That's the point of AIBU innit?

But... am I right? Grin

I used to have a capitalised user name but I was scatter brained, late and messy then too!

Yanbu, but I am a scatter brained late person, so you're wrong there. I just happen to be anal about particular things Grin

I can't decide - does starting a thread about it constitute 'silently' judging? Are we talking literal silence whereby even the tapping of your keys would make a liar of you, or figurative silence whereby you just avoid pointing out uncapitalised names on every thread on every board on the whole site (and others?).

I'm starting to think I need to take my capitals out as I'm exactly how the non capitals are described

FluffyRaggies Sometimes when I'm responding to a poster, I will capitalise their name for them....

One Christmas I changed my mind to Hassledge, which I thought was genius (I didn't come up with it) - no-one got it. No one. People were baffled. - apart from the genius poster who came up with it.
