If we didn't use any capitalization, then what would be the difference in a D/s chatroom and a "vanilla" one?
1) I have never seen anyone flogged in a vanilla chat room.
2) Why should BDSM chat rooms HAVE to be any different from vanilla ones? Are we some kind of outsider sect that requires different chat rules? I consider my lifestyle and my life normal, don't you?

I agree, it is. On the other hand, my wife capitalizes her name and her I's because she is an author. Grammar, spelling and punctuation are very important to her and she has to use them daily. So I make exceptions for her and I don't expect her to type incorrectly and jeopardise her writing. Besides, like I said before, respect is something you show, not something you type.

Should you not be for some reason?
