I didn't say any of those things. You simply misread what I said.
I said they (semi-colons, white space) were not required, but had a useful purpose (i.e. you should use them). Unlike self closing tags which are not required, but additionally serve no purpose whatsoever (i.e. why are you using them?)
I'm not judging a person, I'm judging their ability to program. If you use a feature that does nothing at all it tells me you don't understand the item at hand, you are just copying from other places. Or that you have not updated your knowledge from when those things had a purpose.
Either one of those is not a sign of a good programmer.

Yes I've encountered your type before. I take great delight in watching you fail. What you're saying is completely arbitrary, yet you hold the opinion dearly. That's the thing when you're a dick, people don't help you, and they love to see you fail. Life IS easier if you're kind to others.
