Sorry but you've totally misunderstood me. I hate bullying and I 
certainly don't feel as if I'm bullying anyone. Who am I 
bullying? You can't bully a language so I guess you mean the 
community. From time to time I explain why I'm not using D 
myself, even though I'm attracted to it. I'm sorry if it hurts, 
if I was wrong would it hurt as much? If I'm right, is it better 
to carry on not knowing, so that you can feel good?

Say you have a store, way out of town. There is no parking there 
for cars, so the few customers there have come by bicycle. I live 
in town and know that thousands of people would like the store 
and use it, if it had parking. Is it wrong of me to drive out to 
the store, park up quickly on the road, pop in and say to the 
owners, hey, if you had more parking then I think you'd get many 
more customers? Is that bullying?

You're lumping me in with the drive-by attention seekers. I guess 
that's understandable that from your POV I fit the pattern. I get 
no pleasure from my comment but I do think it's a worthwhile 
observation to be aware of. The internet is a poor medium for 
seeing inside other people's heads, and you've definitely 
msisunderstood what's in mine. At one time, years ago, I put 
months of my spare time into writing a D wrapper for Qt, you can 
search my comment history and check on GitHub.

Anyway I don't take it personally, sorry if I hurt you somehow. 
You shouldn't take it personally either.
