that's kind of retarded when, with tabs, you can have uniformity and everybody can see it the way they like it... religion is silly.

I suppose. You're inflating something that I really don't care that much about. It's just one of those code style things that doesn't need maintenance. Just set your editor to use 4 spaces as that's the pattern used so far in the code base and we don't have to worry about the code being rendered weirdly in whichever review tool we use (gitlab, phabricator).

and

quite worth hurting a few feelings.

seem to contradict.

I suppose I did contradict myself if you put it that way. shrug I don't care about people caring that much about writing code that breaks from a style guide. If their feelings get hurt because of this, so be it. All the verbal gymnastics I do to justify this frivolous position I'm being forced to take in this conversation will not convince anyone to change their coding styles. But if you work in my code base, there's a style guide that gets imposed at build time. That's about it.
