Or perhaps D simply has more flaws to criticize.

Perhaps you are depicting other communities as a bunch of 
group-think hipsters because you are insecure about your own 
community?

Look, I can make baseless accusations too. Wouldn't you agree it 
would be nicer (and more effective, I imagine) to promote your 
community by calling attention rather to its positive qualities, 
rather than demonizing other communities? Especially when your 
negative portrayals of other communities are not accompanied by 
any evidence?

I'm sure you're a smart person and will for each of the 
communities in question be able to find evidence of at least one 
person who at some point in time acted in the way you suggested. 
Of course such a thing would not prove that the behaviour is 
representative of the community, so please don't.
