This is unfair to Adam, and does not characterise the vast 
majority of his contributions to the forums at all (yes, it 
appeared things escalated recently, and clearly there was some 
extreme frustration, as one could tell from his since-removed 
Boxing day post).

If Adam comes back to D, I hope he is welcomed back with open 
arms; it's a sad loss of a great contributor to Dlang as a whole, 
from the This Week in D blog, his arsd libs, right to his D 
Cookbook, which I found really helpful when I begin learning D.
