Also, what a gratuitously obnoxious post. Flagged as inappropriate.

Oh come on! Have a sense of humor. I couldn't have made this post more tongue-in-cheek!

I took a really small code-formatting issue and turned it into a faux holy war using faulty logic, cherry-picked facts, and doofy ad hominem attacks in the tradition of Bloom County:

My post might be "gratuitously obnoxious," but your taking offense at it is amusingly pretentious.

I didn't get that this was a joke. It's my fault, I read the first few lines and thought that you were serious and that it was a waste of time to continue reading. I actually came here to write, "this must be a joke."

I think you just invoked some variant of Poe's law. Or well, I suppose you invoked Poe's law as applied to flamewars as fundamentalism.
