Strongly agreed. Capitalization conventions are part of standard English-language orthography for a very good reason; they make it much easier to read text.
Such things as “stylistic choices” and “to make my formal writing more representative of my casual chatting” do not even begin to approach sufficient justification for imposing such a dramatic cost on your readers.
Writing like this sends a very strong signal that you do not care about your readers’ time or cognitive resources, which in turn implies that you’re uninterested in whether you’re successfully communicating your ideas. (Of course, if that’s your intent, then fair enough. But then why post at all?)
(Meta) Why do you not use capital letters, unless in acronyms? I find it harder to parse.
