Personally I find this an extremely rude response. The reasons I like Lojban are the more diverse and the fact that it can attract different people is a testimony of its greateness. You may think it's a nice abstract toy to dissect, I like the sound and the shape of the sentences. I like tanru and I like zo'e and I like how sentences come out as different from any other language that I know. I'm not interested in the hidden corner of the grammar, unless they bring something to the understanding of the language itself. If the only way to understand what you are talking about is to come up at your level of knowledge, probably I won't need your explanation.
