To be fair, a vocal minority says the same of D. Accusations of linkbombing are commonplace, as is the notion that the D forums are "nice except for the constant go-bashing", claims that there is an organized secret cabal (naturally led by AA and WB) directing people over IRC to upvote everything D regardless of content, etc. Once the seed of doubt is there suddenly everyone saying anything positive about D is probably/maybe/possibly just part of the mob.
The problem with Nim is different. They'll go into the comments section of a completely unrelated post, write something favorable about Nim, then they'll all upvote it so it stays there. That signals to me that they know they can't generate interest based on the merits of the language.
