Did I miss some post here from the other party trying to force his views on you?

I'm not rejecting or refuting your opinions -- I didn't actually read
them. You have a right to your opinions like everyone.  I just don't
care to see this NG become a dumping ground for debates about personal
lifestyle choices, because such things get emotional and typically
have no resolution, like debating religion or abortion or
homosexuality.   Such debates leave no one satisfied and everyone
agitated.  So let's focus on what we have in common here, which is a
believe that D is a really useful programming language.
