I think that would be a bad idea, because the most likely
result would be only to further inflame bad feeling that is
currently starting to calm down, and to result in people
outside the D community being put off from attempting to take
part.
I also think that, regardless of the broader issues, there is
no excuse for throwing around the kind of accusations you threw
at Dicebot. Even if you most sincerely believe that someone is
behaving badly, that kind of vituperative personal attack has
no place in any responsible community.
There's more than one way to be "anti-success", and one
sadly-too-common way is to indulge in such personal attacks,
which don't just cause bad feeling for the recipient but for
plenty of other community members who have to read them, and
wonder whether they too will be attacked for venturing an
opinion.
Probably. I'll leave it here and as Manu has said maybe this
conversation is past its usefulness now. I'll go cool off.
