Oh dearie bloody holy buggering fuck.  Let me explain...

Anyone who defines themself as "an artist" has the capital letter implicit in the phrase.  

I am fully conversant with the rules of the English language - I have pencils older than you - and know full well that sentences tend to begin with capital letters, end with full stops and so forth, so the "mistake" I made wasn't done lightly, nor was it done carelessly,  which means, by any reasonable definition, it wasn't a mistake.  I generally expect the people I talk with - including those I post with on net forums  - to be bright enough to fill in the gaps.  I know sometimes this doesn't happen but I consider that to be collateral damage.

I'm also damn certain FW took my reply in the spirit it was intended (ie, being bright enough to fill in the gaps) so he/she/it doesn't need you to fight his/her/its corner.  That said, I could  give you a completely full and frank opinion of your post and somewhat blunt approach to irony but I'd be violating the TOS if I did.  So, take this in a sporting spirit and, have at you, Sir - or Madam - as the case may be.

Sam, you seem to be ready to go to extreme lengths to prove to yourself and others that you are not an artist despite your artistic abilities.  Pretension goes both ways and of all the posts in this thread, yours are the only ones that come off as being overly pretentious to me.  Pretension often goes hand in hand with arrogance and your last post proves this without a shadow of a doubt.  This is a public forum and there is no need for you to lay "between the lines" traps for others just so you can make yourself feel clever.

You can dress your speech with all the bollocks, fucks and shites you want but it won't hide your pretentious, arrogant nature.  Get a grip man!
