"Harry" is not the *proper* name of the obnoxious, trolling poster in

In the future therefore, he should be addressed as "harry" ... no
capitalization of the "h" is required.

I always thought of "Harry" as being a nickname also but he always
appears on legal documents as "Harry N Krause".



I know. I was just being a bit facetious. Harry apparently went out of
his way to point out to someone that "Jesus" isn't a proper name and
therefore should not be capitalized. Maybe I didn't catch the whole
thing because I don't see his direct posts.




"Jesus" was not the *proper name* of the possibly historical person who
became the christian saviour. None of his contemporaries called him
Jesus, his mother's name was not Mary, and his father's name was not
Joseph. And christ was a title, not a name. Crikey, what sort of sunday
school did you attend?
