For example, in my post to which you replied, I discussed at
some length how I like to split for loops if they're too long.
You snipped that discussion *and then* insinuated that I don't care
about complex loops written on one line.  Please stop doing things
like that.

Well I care about it too, and I would write such things more sensibly

formatted. For-headers are not split up unless they're long enough to
overflow the line.

It's something about the culture behind 'for' that encourages poor

Did you miss my point, or did you deliberately ignore it?
You snipped part of my text in which I discussed how I like to split
long for loops.  You then insinuated that I personally don't care
about complex loops written on one line, after I clearly demonstrated
that I do, and you hid the evidence.
I'm asking you to stop doing that kind of thing.
I'm making a point, not about technical disagreements, but about
you,
deliberately or otherwise, misrepresenting what I've written.

Of course, everybody here (me included) will claim their own code is
cleanly laid out; it's everybody else's that is the problem.

You've dodged the point yet again.  I can only assume it's deliberate.

You have exhausted my patience.

Yes, your comments above stand.  You have no problem misrepresenting
what others have written, and you dishonestly refuse to acknowledge
that you have done so.  You have lied about me.  This is not merely
annoying.  It is offensive.

You appear to thrive on arguments.  You'll get no more from me.

I'll continue to read your posts for a while, but I do not intend
to reply unless I feel it is necessary to do so.  Please do not
take this as a challenge to say something so provocative you think
I'll need to reply.  An apology, or even an explanation, would be
welcome, but at this point it would not guarantee that I'll resume
talking to you.
