Heat in this forum generally comes from two kinds of people. The 
first kind are those that are direct in their opinions, but work 
with the language and direct their criticism at real pain points 
and suggest, often even contribute, workable improvements. Those 
people are not the problem and in my books you belong to that 
first category. Manu Evans is another classic example of that 
kind of person.

The another kind of people, that are the real problem, are those 
who have an air of negativity about D and the language foundation 
in general. They turn many threads into those battles where most 
of us feel the need to defend D against overt criticism. Often - 
not always, but often - they have no or next to no record of 
contributing. I can't pinpoint exactly what the problem in their 
behaviour is, but somehow they almost never manage to be 
constructive. I can only suspect they have some subconscious 
desire to prove others misguided and themselves above the mass, 
or something like that.

<political rant> Forbidding that should be declared illegal in 
every country. I can maybe understand if, say someone developing 
car radio software, would be forbidden from contributing to 
open-source radio software, but to software in general? That's 
ridiculous!
