Maybe dissapointment that hopes were not justified..
Long time no hear from Chris :) He was angry about breaking 
changes with new version of compiler and that he had to rewrite 
his >100k loc project if I remember correctly.

I've seen also similar example - one member was part of 
D-community and wrote some projects in D and put his time and 
effort (making projects, bug reports). But after that he lost his 
hope or maybe some other bad experience, or just other tools 
resolve his problems.
Now everytime when he see on one IT-news website, if someone 
mentioning D in the comments - he make a lot of replies how D is 
bad, that some bugs (his bugs) have not fixed more than 10 years.
On question "why so serious and negative?" - he is answering that 
at first he was ambassador of D, but it was big waste of his time 
and he would like to save others from this fate.
