In reply to:
It's certainly not intended to elevate myself, as I also mentioned: "Sysiyo said...Sysiyo replied".
You MUST be an alterego, because noone else would be either so stubbornly idiotic, or unable to follow an argument.
Yes, you wrote "Sysiyo said, Sysiyo replied," but Sysiyo is his username. If you'd not intended to elevate yourself you should have written "anotherpoet said," or even "Anotherpoet said." Capitalizing your username is fine, since that's like capitalizing a given name.
Once again, "Sysiyo" is Sys' username, NOT a title he's chosen to give himself.
You, however, called yourself The Poet, capitalizing both "the" and "poet," which is NOT your username, but a title. It's the same as if Sysiyo had suddenly started calling himself The Moderator. In fact, if you'd insisted on calling yourself The Poet, then that's exactly what you should have called Sysiyo.
That would have just made you pretentious for writing in poofy third person, which is pretentious enough.
(By the way, before arguing further with me about not being pretentious, might you go to dictionary.com and check what "pretentious" means, just in case? You seemed to be unaware of the meaning of both "to capitalize" and "perfection" earlier, I just want to make sure we have no confusion here.)
Maybe if I write this now, while drunk, you'll all understand.
