Junio, what got into you?
I've always admired your calm and reasoned way to deal with even the most obnoxious people, and unlike more abrasive people on this list I've never seen you say "Go away" to anybody here.
Especially because I agree with you that calling pretty-printing as "pretty" isn't so broken to make such a big deal out of, it would be better not to chase a potentially useful contributor away on such a minor issue.
