Pls and pls. This thread is with a purpose.let keep the purpose.

Many thread in this forum done live to their purpose. We can open 
another to discuss the problem facing D

We all advocate for a new behaviour and character on D forums. 
Pls let this deviation stop right here. No more this unhappy 
outburst. Open a thread for that. We must not sound unfriendly in 
bearing our minds.we hurt D more when we do that.

Thanks for the understanding. A new wine must be put in a new 
bottle for this to go well.


Also feel deeply that Andrei resign not just because of family 
only but also because the hostility of the community to his 
leadership. This is my personal observation, I might be wrong, so 
don't quote me.


Let support Atila we all we have to get D where it suppose to be.


Atila on the other hands has to bring more unity and harmony to 
this community. In my own opinion that is the first step to being 
more adoption to D.


Our human relationship is little we must manage it well to grow 
big
