A Brief Defense of Significant Whitespace

In my Python 4K post I said:

I want nothing to do with any programmer who would mis-indent their code. If you want to mis-indent your code you are an idiot. If you want idiotic code to be an option you are being absurd.

This might come off as a little... well, not a friendly way of saying it. Maybe I'll expand a little:

Update: I really messed something up and everyone who submitted comments had them sent into the void. What baffles me is that people then replied to the empty comments...? Anyway, sorry about that; fixed now.
