 People object not because you say some parts of C are confusing but
because you make them out to be more confusing than they are.  These
things are not that hard to understand.  No one has any doubt that
you could understand them if you made any sort of effort, but you
don't even try.  All you do is complain.  If you took even one tenth
the time you spend complaining on learning how things work then you
would understand them and could usefully spend the leftover time
doing something of value.  As it is you do nothing but waste
everyone's time, including your own.

This is a discussion of language design. Not one person trying to understand how some feature works. I could learn how X works, but that won't help a million others with the same issue.
I used to write applications. If users said that some things were hard to do, I would take that on board, and strive to make them easier, or revise the manual to take account of what people had trouble with.
I wouldn't insult.
