I think that would be a bad idea, because the most likely result would be only 
to further inflame bad feeling that is currently starting to calm down, and to 
result in people outside the D community being put off from attempting to take part.

I also think that, regardless of the broader issues, there is no excuse for 
throwing around the kind of accusations you threw at Dicebot.  Even if you most 
sincerely believe that someone is behaving badly, that kind of vituperative 
personal attack has no place in any responsible community.

There's more than one way to be "anti-success", and one sadly-too-common way is 
to indulge in such personal attacks, which don't just cause bad feeling for the 
recipient but for plenty of other community members who have to read them, and 
wonder whether they too will be attacked for venturing an opinion.
