Can't agree. I think the complaining is reasonable and it was written as 
an answer to "I found a bug, it's terrible!" to show that the situation 
is much worse a person thought. It is also aimed to help newbies to 
understand the situation if they read NG as it looks like nobody want to 
share this (relevant and valuable) information on main `dlang.org` site 
but instead a newbie can read some words about stability and conclude 
there is no such blocking issues in D. And it looks really like the 
current situation as there are lots of "Can I write for Android in D?" 
but no "Can I write for Windows in D?".

I have never really answered to this so:

Honestly, I can't even imagine how my malicious silly posts can touch 
anybody except me. If someone see this what does he think? I suppose the 
only case is: "That is an annoying probably stupid person. He does it 
because he has no actual arguments so I will not read further this 
discussion as he is obviously incorrect." But looks like you really feel 
bad because of this so I will stop my stupid mean jokes.

[WARNING: the following paragraph is solely IMHO and may wrongly blame 
good people, remember while reading it that I'm the one who outrage more 
than constructive participate]
If we are telling about a respect, I have to say some of the main 
developers show far more strong disrespect than me (that's why I feel 
angry sometimes). The disrespect is in ignoring another person's 
arguments making that person feel like "my arguments are too stupid to 
even be arguably rejected". So I also kindly ask the developers to 
correct that behaviour. The correction is easy: in the case someone feel 
"there is misunderstanding" one (or better two) core developers without 
strong opinion on the subject are asked to attach and make unprejudiced 
decision (when they can of course, so the discussion may be frozen for a 
relatively long time which will only help everybody to rethink his 
opinion). In the case their opinion is like the first core developer 
opinion the person who is against it have to stop arguing. Probably that 
person may have an ability to add new arguments and ask the developers 
to rethink their opinion, but only after a few months.

I'm not playing the victim. I'm here long enough to see and understand D 
shortcomings. If I discovered something unexpected and have troubles it 
is my own fault.

I'm worrying about newbies who can start using the language as there is 
no warning on the main site about some shortcomings everybody have to be 
informed about. Damn, `std.stdio.File` is positioned as an official and 
working thing to read/write files (it is even on the main page) what can 
I add?

I'm also worrying about D image in the case a count of D users will grow 
exponentially and (I hope it will never happen but) D will drown in hate 
posts of frustrated users who wasn't informed about thinks they expected 
to be informed about.

Of course, feel free to do it. No sarcasm here, I like D and just can't 
be against of pushing out somebody who cause troubles to developers.
