Your link shows how dang doesn't doesn't like comments complaining about blog layouts. I disagree with dang. Now what? Am I expected to stop using this site because I disagree with the admin? Does this mean I will be banned if I complain?

I don't think it is bikeshedding, and I enjoy judging the writer of the blog for their (according to me) failure to understand the common programmer's aesthetic preference for parenthesis-free code and also failing to understand that people mostly have wide-screen displays and full-width lines don't read very well. Are these musings allowed?

PS I used to have some weird fetish for efficiency before I learnt to value readability.
