I wise man speaks of what he sees.  The easiest approach to communication in a newsgroup, forum, or mailing list is a simple loop:

1) State what you see.
2) State what you think.
3) (optional) State what you ****think**** should change.
4) Goto: 1

Ty sees a resistence to change.  He thinks that this is making D a harder language for new people to get into.  He thinks that people should start taking criticism less personally and more like contstructive criticism.

I see no reason for animosity here.
