Can we please stop arguing this (and that goes for both sides of 
this). This
discussion is not in the least bit productive.

There is no question that failing to capitalize the letter i when 
it's used as
a pronoun is bad English, and there's no way that anyone fluent 
enough in
English to write an article like this is not going to know that. 
So, clearly,
he's doing it on purpose.

I agree that bad grammar - especially when it's so blatant like 
this -
detracts from what's being written, and pointing out that it was 
a problem was
fine, but continuing to argue about it serves no purpose. 
Clearly, he knows
that what he's doing is bad grammar, but he's doing it anyway for 
whatever his
personal reasons are. Arguing about it like this isn't helping. 
It's just
increasing the level of contention around here.
