Good coders do have their own styles, but if that style makes code harder for others to read, that coder should only be working in isolation.

FXCop actually looks better than stylecop, and is more flexible. It does style as well as picking up potential issues.
Until I read this thread, I thought that FXCop was depreciated and that StyleCop was the new FXCop - and I was wrong. I used FXCop a long time ago and it ROCKED.
Why don't you suggest FXCop to the team.

SuperLloyd,
I'm disappointed to read of your decision against defenestration of StyleCop and all of its ilk.
I am perhaps the least respected individual in my group because of my failure to (for instance) enclose single-statement blocks in brackets, in an IF statement. And ya know what ? I don't care.
Worse, if they are very short, I will place two or even (very infrequently)three statements ON A SINGLE LINE (enclosed in brackets, of course) immediately following the predicate. ON THE SAME LINE ! Oh! The Horror!
Worse still, I rarely use 'this' in accessing a class variable.
And the worst sin of all, I completely ignore the convention of placing a property's 'Get' & 'Set' on separate lines and separate blocks (except where a 'get' or 'set' is extraordinarily complex).
That vertical-format property rule MUST have been set forth by a computer printer paper salesman.
Now, I DO comment the heck out of my code ... indeed, apparently to a fault. People have complained about my excessive commenting. I don't care. My feeling is that I'm CERTAIN to forget what I was doing in as little as two or three weeks. Where the code gets complex, I document the heck out of it so that six months down the road when I'm back in the code, I can come back up to speed (relatively) quickly.
So, I do suffer the slings and arrows of the style zealots, but that's a small price to pay.
I'm sorry to hear that you've surrendered to the zealots in The Good Fight.

Hear ye, Hear ye! One hasn't given up the good fight!
Well, partly I want to be political, partly I am tired of COMPLETELY USELESS fighting! If people feel their happiness depends on no space after comma, no tabs, always curly braces on next line even for single statement if, well.. let's do it and move on!  
But I feel you man!

Except for the rule about #region blocks around using statements, I'm a big fan of StyleCop. I was first introduced to it when I started at my current job. Sure, adding StyleCop to an old project sucks:
*Build - Succeeded*
*Add StyleCop*
*Build - 678 Errors*
But you can't beat the uniformity. It's all about readability and consistency to me. I'm a bit of a perfectionist, so when I have to read someone's code that has mixed indention, inconsistent bracketing, poor naming convention, and crammed code (yeah, I'm talking to the guys who take the challenge to put as much code on as few lines as possible... this isn't code golf!) I get a bit annoyed.
My 2 cents.

I always associated Yoda with Methuselah, from the Bible. He was old 969+ years before his death, and wise.

Happy birthay from me as well.
From the astrological perspective, you should have hung on for another 11 days. Being born on march 21 or at least on one of the following days would have made you invincible

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"You mean like from space?"

He is? Like William Shatner or Captain Kirk? Both at March 22, that can't be a coincidence.

I will issue a pre-emptive thank you for everyone's best wishes. A 5 will be automatically allocated. You can count that as my thanks.

Happy birthday... and I'm still waiting for you to get my tie fighter out of the swamp from last years celebration. 
It was broke, so I fixed it.

It's been statistically proven that the celebrating birthdays is one of the best ways of getting to live to an old age.
So congrats on another celebration.
