There's nothing idiotic about asking people to behave civilly and not use 
sarcastic nicknames for other software products, even when one has good reason 
to disapprove of them.  A variety of perception is good, expressing yourself in 
a way that makes people more likely to ignore or dismiss your perception isn't.

Besides, the D community ought to be a friendly environment for developers from 
any platform.  Tolerance for sneering nicknames can be offputting for people 
from the platforms being sneered at -- and if they're less likely to join the 
community as a result, the variety of perception will be decreased.

Making the D community a pleasant place for everyone _is_ a D-related issue.

In my experience it's a very typical problem of technical people in general (I 
don't excuse myself here) that they focus predominantly on technical issues at 
the expense of understanding how their ways of expressing themselves are 
perceived by other people.  The result is very often a lot of unnecessary 
conflict and failure of communication, and a lot of interpersonal grievances 
that are completely avoidable.

This conversation is a good example.  You seem to think that everyone is 
accusing you of being immature.  Actually, this whole thread of conversation is 
an appeal to your maturity -- to your capacity to understand why people are 
concerned about these things, and to adapt accordingly.
