Re: [lojban-beginners] Re: A suggestion for the Lojban names of weekdays and months.
I'm conflicted by this message as well. Lindar's e-mail is very close
to going into my killfile, though the content of his messages is
very good.
Reading them, however, sometimes makes my day worse.
Lindar, I really really enjoy listening to your ideas and I get a
lot of out them. I struggle some days to read past the tone of your
e-mail, and that struggle is getting closer to my acting on it by
filtering your e-mail out of my inbox. I would really rather not do
this. I request that you separate your proposals and suggestions from
judgement or dismissiveness of other ideas. Your proposals are
strong enough to stand on their own merit.
