I still maintain, though, that sentences-long section headings are problematic on many levels. If this person wants to continue using them, so be it. The community will do their thing and munge answers into the format they prefer. | |

It also typically will represent the attitude of the regular answer posters, not the one of questioners or information seekers who are likely to have different views on things. As long as he is posting profound answers, he definitely should be left alone. Personal resentments or controversies around taste or style surely do not diminish the value of his contribution. | |

But no one else here does that and as such, it's very jarring at first sight and then continues to be distracting while reading the post. If the community prefers to see answers written in a certain way, that's what the edit button is for. I may be wrong, but from this meta QA, there are more than a few of us that think his markup is distracting. | |
