I'm a Baptist, so everyone just let me know if they need any ideas for self-shaming.

If there's a need for one on a tune, definitely use one. I don't see that as being any different than using alternate tunings. A tool is a tool. But if folks are using one to avoid learning to play in odd keys or the like, they are doing their playing a disservice. Nobody that can play well would think twice about using a capo for certain things and they would giggle at any crap thrown their way for doing so. This makes me think the capo question pops up because folks are looking for permission to use one so they can avoid playing in Bb, etc. If you struggle in Bb or the like (and everyone does or has), practice until you don't. Shame is an excellent motivator; use it to your advantage. Your playing will thank you.
