I think at the very least Commies should be capitalized.

There's nothing wrong with language play between consenting adults.

No it shouldn't, commies is a slang term for a communist which does not have to be capitalized.

It would be a slang term for communists (plural) actually.

How about no space between this and the question mark? Oh, you're talking about Maerl's post. How about some capitalization and less use of ellipses, Maerl?

As an ellipses is defined as three spaced dots or asterisks, Maerl didn't actually use any, so less use would be impossible.

Surely one ellipsis should not be spelled with an 'e'?

Too many exclamation points. Also, "you're" is not a legitimate sentence.
