Style complaints are not intended to impede your freedom of expression.
Having a consistent style for the project is necessary for other
developers to be able to read and understand your code at a glance.
This is a prerequisite for efficient distributed development.  Why not
maintain and test your code locally in your own style, and run it
through indent before committing it (ostensibly for others to hack on)?
