I'm sure some people have, it seems to me a little beneath a state to call out a guy for stretching the truth a bit or an extra tugging at heartstrings.
Lol, I used to post a lot at Stormfront (under a different name) and I got called out for usually capitalizing Jews and occasionally not capitalizing Christians, somehow I managed to overcompensate and try to remember to always capitalize Christians and occasionally not capitalize Jews (to make it look more like an honest mistake, which it was).
Now it appears I have so overcompensated to the point that my habit is that usually I capitalize Christian, usually don't capitalize Jews, often don't capitalize Muslim, but usually do.
I really did feel bad the times when I didn't capitalize Christian, but to be honest I find capitalizing the names of religions kind of annoying, I'm not fond of capitals in the middle of sentences, I realize that "I" is necessary, place and people names need it to help differentiate, I'm not convinced that religions really need it, and frankly part of that is due to Christians naming their kids Christian (ala Christian Slater).
Maybe I'll make a better effort to capitalize them all, but expect that I will screw it up on a fairly regular basis...you have no idea how many times I had to backspace in this post to change one.
Just know it's never meant by me as an insult to any religion
