1. Make extraordinary claims
2. Refuse to back up said claims with small examples because "I 
don't write toy code"
3. Refuse to back up said claims with elaborate examples because 
"It will
take too long"
4. Use arrogant tone throughout thread, imply that you're smarter 
than the creators of UTF, and creators and long-time contributors 
of D (never contribute code to D yourself)

Result: 70-post thread

Conclusion: Successful troll is successful :)
