Of course only the true trolls would bother to "call > me on it", the putzes they are. Typical... Eep, for all I care you can emphasize words by typing them backwards and in leetspeak set to iambic pentameter. You can tape down your shift key, or you can go the e e cummings route. You can even put inside quotation marks things that were not actually said. For the moment, though, put away the Yiddish dictionary and don't refer to me in the plural as if I represented some sort of mass conspiracy working against you from the dark shadows of usenet. Also drop the pretense that you evaluate the validity of writing-related complaints by checking to see if the (supposed) error impedes understanding. Capitalizing "action-adventure" doesn't make it any more difficult understand, yet you complained about it. Why should I adopt a more liberal rubric in evaluating you than you use to evaluate others? I thought it was funny that you got all Elements of Style on somebody over capitalization immediately after using your own nonstandard capitalization scheme. That the two uses of capitalization were meant to serve different purposes didn't seem relevant at the time, nor does it now.
