Well, he invading *my* discussion put forward in *my* thread 
specifically for discussing an idea, and saying he wanted oop 
removed from D completely, and oo programmers are just 
oo..philes, doesnt' really seem to be in the spirit of the 
guidelines for DIP ideas. If it is in the spirit, then I guess 
pretty much anything goes..hey.

The whole point of DIP idea was to get that kind of nonsense out 
of the disucssion.

But with private(this), it always finds it's way in ...no matter 
where it gets discussed.

It's always the same people as well.
