Personally, I like the italics. Perhaps Robert is a lazy bastard who has
had his ass kissed for so many years that in, in his own mind, he can do no
wrong. I have never had much use for people who have a nickname they bestow upon
themselves and who often refer to themselves in the third person. Now if he
called himself, "The Dickwad," that would be totally different.

As for his writing style, he has always e-mailed me in that style. I have about 30 e-mails from him here and in the 10 or so that comprise more than 2 sentences, none are capitalised at all.
