The fact that you obviously can (sans capital Is, it seems) 
aside, I'd say it's a good reason to give yourself a pause before 
writing something for a wider public. The rules that say "start 
every sentence with a capital letter" or "every "I" meaning 
thyself shall be capitalized" are really simple to follow and you 
learn them very early when learning the language. Negligence to 
do so is, to me, either extreme laziness or lack of respect to 
the reader. This isn't twitter or a text message, after all, you 
had to have put some serious thought into writing such a post. 
Why not put a minute more to make it presentable?

That being said, I'm sorry for my poor choice of words, I did not 
mean them to be as aggressive as they are.
