I should add D.learn is often less abrupt than this forum,
especially if you're just finding your feet in D.
Here it is often assumed that posters are OK if their arguments
are shot down in flames. It is used as a technical discussion
forum for new ideas driving the language forward. That sort of
work has to be nutted out without tiptoeing around each other.
BUT, I reiterate, it doesn't mean posters are attachking others
personally. I have rarely seen that behaviour on the D forums.
