::::Maybe if people tried not to do both 'stylistic' changes and fix coding errors in the one edit, then you could concentrate on arguing the merits of stylistic changes within their given context. SOmeone may be able to argue that for the given program, its's not gonna make much difference. On the problem of people not having an account before editing, then maybe a note asking them politely to properly join in the the discussion by giving you a name to converse with might be all it takes? (I, have been known to play fast-n-loose with Pythons 80 char lines rule). --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 05:38, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
:::: I wasn't accusing anyone of anything, just stating why I'd done what I'd done. I don't want to see an edit-war either, so if it happens again, my first suggestion would be a community coding style. I know what my preferences are, but when I teach programming, I stress consistency over any one style, so I have no problem with the idea. (I'm just a TA, so don't take that as me trying to lend weight to my arguments.) If not a style guide, my second suggestion would be to not make purely stylistic changes to existing code.
