You are wrong.  I responded because there is nothing in
your posting that is suitable for comp.lang.c.  

> I've never seen you complain about any GCC extensions here.

I don't remember seeing any posting in comp.lang.c that
discusses a gcc extension and nothing else.  There are
plenty of postings that mention gcc extensions in passing,
along with other material that talks about C, but never
one that discusses gcc extensions exclusively.

Furthermore, even if there had been a posting that concerns
only a gcc extension and nothing else, and is one I didn't
respond to, that doesn't excuse your action.  It isn't like
this is the first time you have posted something here that
is not about C but only about your fantasy language, and
also not the first time the unsuitability of such postings
has been pointed out.  You're a repeat offender.  So stop
pretending you are being picked on for no reason.
