I had misunderstood xorxes' claim. I suggest you read further in
the thread.

Chapter one:

You can learn the language described here with assurance that
(unlike previous versions of Lojban and Loglan, as well as most
other artificial languages) it will not be subject to further
fiddling by language-meisters.
...
If even the book's author disclaims that goal, as you claim he
would, then this language is seriously fucked. However, I don't
think that that goal would be disclaimed by all but a small (and
unfortunately loud) minority of "lojbanists". Though there are
certainly a few who would say they are in favor of that goal, but
act the opposite.
So thankfully the massive amount of fiddling which you are hilariously
referring to as "jboske" is more or less inconsequential. Certainly
postings on the wiki have far more import than messages sent around
the list, though, due to their lack of transience.
