These are crucial bits of information that were missing from
your first report.
Please try to be more accurate the next time. Holding back
crucial information gets us nowhere. It only leaves the (false)

This is out of line. It doesn't help anyone to throw around this
kind of aggressive, blame-laden criticism, especially not towards
someone who is trying to expand the professional developer uptake
of D.
It's important that we all try and be constructive, sympathetic
and helpful when offering advice, even (actually, especially)
when suggesting to someone that they might have done things
differently.
