I have to come to the defense of orthonormativity. I know the allure of coming up with your own way of writing stuff, but a shared orthographic frame helps communication, while the opposite comes through as careless dumping of the effort to decode a message onto each and every one of the recipients.

38·3 months agoIt’s kind of sad to see Musk fall from “nerdy workaholic” to… whatever he’s now.

Be(e) nice cuts both ways: I don’t find the superiority implication of the capitalization to be nice, and OP’s explanations don’t make me think of anything nice behind them.
It may boil down to something as simple as netiquette, where ALL CAPS MEANS SCREAMING, or AlTeRnAtInG cAsE means mocking… but the explanations seem to point more in the direction of asking to use MASTER/OWNER as someone’s pronouns. Not nice.
Not great. We’ll see during next hatching season.
