Q: Why don’t you consistently capitalize the beginnings of your sentences on this supposedly professional writer website?

When I’m trying to be clear, you get sentence case.

Q: Why can’t I right click on your website?
A: I got really paranoid about plagiarizers in 2017 and downloaded a WordPress plugin that prevents anyone from copying any text on the site.
I still like it. It’s WP Content Copy Protection & No Right Click.
