Sorry if I'm hurting someone's sentiment, but is it just me who 
is seeing so much negative trend in the D forum about D itself? I 
don't remember seeing so much negative about Rust on rust forum 
and so on. Do you think it will help in reminding people not to 
post any negative things? It shouldn't become strict moderation, 
but at the same time, I really don't like seeing so much negative 
trend. I would even go to the extent and suggest to email 
Walter/Andrei in person (even if they don't agree) to vent your 
frustration with D, but please don't post it on the forum.

Everyone knows the current state of D and this can be improved 
with more volunteers. Even a small topic like some xyz library is 
not up to the mark is being dragged towards argument and 
negativity about D instead of realizing that the issue needs to 
be reported to the respective library author.

The community is small when compared to other languages, so it is 
essential to keep the positive vibe to attract larger mass (to 
reach the critical mass at first hand).

We need great minds from across various industries and 
experiences to strengthen ourselves. So please promote D with 
what it can offer at the moment instead of spreading negative 
sentiment of how it can do certain things with some missing crazy 
syntax sugar, etc. We know such things are being/can be worked 
upon.

D is a wonderful programming language and let's share awesome 
things we do with it.
