So the fact that it is a convention should prevent anyone from
pointing out that it is a bad convention? Methinks this emperor has
no clothes!

First thing, your naming convention looks a little wonky. Java
usually uses CamelCase for class and method names.
Hmm. Thanks David, I hadn't heard the term CamelCase before. Is
that because camels are unrideable and CamelCase is unreadable?

This is probably sending this discussion waaay off topic, but
whatever.
Right.
Whether you like it or not, infix caps, or camel case, are part
of the Official Code Conventions of the Java Programming
Language, seen at http://java.sun.com/docs/codeconv/html/
CodeConventions.doc8.html#367 . You may personally like
underscore method names more than camel case. I personally do as
well, but...
Every piece of code you write with non-standard naming
conventions results in anyone who "follows the rules" with
respect to Java programming to have to mentally switch contexts
with regard to method calls, class declarations, etc... Often
within the same line of code. You can't get away from camel case
even if you tried. WO, WOnder, and the java apis all use it.
In the end, camel case isn't that bad, and it makes you a good
citizen. Swallow your pride and getOverIt.
It's the other way around actually. CamelCase is spurned by
typographers for good reason. I guess Lemmings must be really good
citizens. I'd rather think different, nothing to do with
swallowing pride. Pride is arrogantly sticking with something that
is wrong.
Two things:
"Pride" would be arrogantly and self-importantly sticking with any
position, right OR wrong.
And, arrogance had nothing to do with the reasons Eric enumerated
for using CamelCase. As a matter of fact, I doubt any of us use
CamelCase out of arrogance. Now, if we were to take the time blog
about and compare code "typographies" to written verse, then make
sure everyone sees it..... :-)
Nevermind. I think it is probably better said as such:
if(noOneCares()) {
toEachTheirOwn()
} else {
beatDeadHorseInPrideAndArrogance()
