I have no connection with Tiobe and the name "D" wasn't chosen to

Nice strawman. I never said you chose the D name. I made it clear why I
think using Tiobe to crow about D is just lame marketing.
It's not all that clear to me. I see that post as an attempt at inflaming.
What's silly
is framing marketing as "posting of a piece of information on a
community-voted forum". That's taking generics to a whole new level!
That's pretty much what I did. It's very simple, really - the people who
maintain the Tiobe index wrote a few good words about D in their monthly
installment for September. I found fit to share that on reddit. I fail
to see where I've done something lame or of questionable intent or
whatnot. If you were in my position, wouldn't you have posted that
article? I don't understand what you're trying to prove.
BTW, apparently others comment on the news, too.

I find it odd that you hang out on this newsgroup although every
indication of D's success infuriates you.
