It's my blog and i'll do as *i* please.

After posting this yesterday i've so far had 9,900+ people visit this article (with 96.90% being new visitors). Good exposure for D i think. :)

neither, in fact. i believe that those rules are useless and senseless now, so it's more like a "one man crusade". i know that virtually nobody will join me in my fight, but it's not enough to stop me. ;-)

It's not a "one man's crusade," it affects legibility and creates dissonance within the text.
It also appears unprofessional and uneducated.

Nitpick: this is about orthography, not grammar ;-)

I didn't bring it up because I felt like being pedantic, I brought it up as a suggestion to make it more pleasant to read.

Since you've already been labelled as a pedant, perhaps you should learn the difference between pedantry and Nazism.

Secondly, as I've already stated, it's not a matter of it being incomprehensible.

In that case, don't complain when the opinions you've written are dismissed.
