Personal style

A: Which one is correct, are both possible?
Dr. Mukins decided that we not do this project anymore.
Dr. Mukins decided that we don't do this project anymore.

B: They don't work grammatically. By the way, in my own personal style: if I say something "isn't good" - don't use it

Here is a real conversation. Would you please explain what it means by "personal style" ?
