Yes, I understand. What it really comes down to is that I'm just 
asking people to be more careful with their language. These 
forums do not exist in a sealed vacuum, and what we say here can 
easily be misinterpreted elsewhere or by someone with an interest 
in D who's looking over the forums. "It's messed up that a DIP 
author can decide on his own proposal" is very different from a 
broad claim like "the DIP process is broken".
