And I don't give a fuck what you expect because this thread 
encourages counter-productive and harmful attitude to the 
language. So yes, expect it to be ruined by off-topic flamewar, 
as well as any similar thread, this is quite intentional.

And I won't let you do that easily. Not in this NG at least.

And there are no NG rules that say I shouldn't write some 
off-topic bullshit in your threads. Also clearly the only reason 
why we don't casually walk around shooting people is because laws 
prohibit doing so, otherwise it is perfectly reasonable thing to 
do.

Yeah, sadly I don't buy this "I wanted to contribute but now I am 
so discouraged" attention whore crap. Andrei / Walter usually 
appreciate it being public spokeperson but I have no such 
concerns and don't care about a difference between a forum troll 
and retard.

Same as I don't really care what is your _personal_ go on D usage 
and what custom patches you have (or just pretend to have to 
troll real contributors). You are crossing the line when you come 
to the official NG and start telling people "hey guys it feels 
like a good day to screw this language a bit more". This is where 
I stop pretending to be a civilized person.

Exactly the kind of demagogue rhetorics referenced xkcd comic 
makes fun of. It is quite ironical that people tend to call least 
restricted environments totalitarian because it not only allows 
them to do things but also face the reaction of other people 
which is (surprisingly!) different from expected ones. Because if 
we actually had any sort of military discipline I'd had to comply 
to official "be nice to everyone" attitude. Fortunately I don't 
have to. Same as you don't have to respect my or Daniel opinion.
