You might prefer it, but the community has chosen to use Lojban. I
occasionally use the full name "Lojban - A Realization of Loglan" when
being formal, but informally no one is likely to use that
phrase. Meanwhile, in the context of your 500, TLI Loglan is not even a
single language, but a family of languages, ranging from the one in the
1960 Sci Am article to the 3rd edition language of 1974-5 to the 4th
edition language of 1989, to the current TLI language. But all of them
call their language "Loglan", and our language "Lojban".

Yes it is. And everyone else's, which is why they are showing
hostility. They don't care!
