How come bell hooks is exempt from your “I won’t abide by weird ‘Iphone’ capitalization” rule?

If you remembered this http://boingboing.net/2014/01/01/newyearsresolution-avoid-inca.html then you could at least have bothered to read its first sentence.

This year, I resolve to minimize my use of incaps when writing about commercial products and companies.

This is not hard.

bell hooks does not write her name with incaps - that would be the case only if she went by bEll hoOKs or something.
bell hooks is not a commercial product or company.

That is all.

Oh great, so not only is Harry Potter a devil worshiper but now he’s got one of them femiNazis for a girlfriend? Let’s get this boycott started! Stop buying Harry Potter merchandise! Especially those broomsticks!

2 seconds (literally) of searching shows that bell hooks appears to prefer the lower-case version of her name and most people abide by that preference.
