I agree with this sentiment. One of D's strengths is the helpful 
responses on the Learn forum. It is something the D community can 
be proud of. Participants in such personal attacks may view it as 
primarily as a 1-1 interchange, but they do take away from this 
strength. Better would be to move personal conflicts to some 
other venue.
