I profoundly agree with this.
I'm totally serious though - related when I went manic for a week it was a hell of an experience. Lots of what I call "productive delusions". Ideas I came to in a manic state where I was delusional but very creative, and despite being a product of delusional thinking patterns I learned a lot from them - stuff I still carry with me.
Never underestimate the mad.

Excuse me, I didn't know about that. Now I'm afraid that my last post could be hurtful.
This was / is not my intention.
Please sorry again 
It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question

No, nothing like that. I wasn't offended in any way, I was just reflecting on what Griff said. No worries.

I'm pretty easy going about the fact that I'm mad. Basically, at this point it's part of my aesthetic. 
As far as coding, I think it helps, though I guess people that consume my articles are the ultimate judge of that. Ha!

@code-witch uses single line if and for statements.
Even "single line" for statements in other for statements 
The madness is pretty obvious I think...

Both using braces and indenting is, in principle reudundant, I can't protest against that.
One of the most common problems (although in the "minor" class - they are almost always caught by the compiler) is getting the braces and indentations right - especially in C-like languages where the closing brace is "anonymous", with no indication of what it closes (no ENDFOR, OD, ENDWHILE or anything of that sort.
So I see the redundancy as a great aid to getting things right: There is never an opening brace without an indent, and never an indent without an opening brace. Never an undent without a closing brace, never a closing brace without an undent.
When an indent may or may not come with another level of bracing, and the next statement following that for-for-if were (incorrectly) indented or undented, and the function goes on for thirty lines with this mis-indentation, it could be difficult to spot the location of the missing or extra brace. The compiler will hopefully tell you that something is wrong, but it might require some work to decide what is wrong: Maybe the next statement really belongs within the inner for-loop, so the problem was a missing brace, not an incorrect indentation.
So, I go for redundancy: Neither indentation nor braces, or both indentation and braces. For the last if-statement: If you don't want the braces, then rather put it all on one line (as long as it doesn't exceed 70 chars). You know that after an if-condition, the rest of the line is either a single, short expression which is the entire if-clause, or a brace that opens an indented block. (The only thing that may follow an opening brace is an end-of-line comment.)
Obviously, the compiler doesn't care. This is only for my own sake, to make it easier for myself to spot where there is an error in the nesting levels.

I just hate this:

Though if I'm working in a shop, I adopt whatever standards they use, if they're available. If I'm in charge of setting standards, I'd agree with yours. In my own code, I just code as I feel. I do it for enjoyment, and I like the freedom of it.

Isn't Roslyn open source? How about helping out?

Honestly, I think adding more to the clusterfark that's already there wouldn't help matters.
I am kinda working with it right now to see if I can't write some suitable helpers for it, but there's a significant learning curve even just in using it.

Roslyn dev #1: "We should totally output single line if statements."
Roslyn dev #2: "We should definitely NOT do that..."
Manager: "Alright guys, break it up! I'm going to make a decision here and say we start with a curly brace, but don't end it so everyone's happy!"
Result:
if (something)
{SomeMethod();
NextMethod();You know this may not even be so far from the truth

Taking inspirations from our friend Dandy's crazy idea[^] I rolled my notebook exhausts with tapes.
Then I showered PASTAS[^]... through 6 browser windows.
Laptop got red hot. All the final bunch of anterrorists ran out, got crushed by me. And some of them died inside. Occasionally falling down the exhaust grills as dead corpse.
Mission success.

Ants dig, but (as far as I know) don't build a nest like bees or wasps would.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Poor ants. They most likely were not trying to build a nest in your notebook, like ant 1.0 would have done. In my former home a young ant 1.0 queen would try to establish a new nest inside a window frame around this time every year.
