Today, I woke up in the morning, after making a contribution. To hear that now my contribution was going to be mangled, my art: destroyed. In any case though I don't enjoy being harrassed, stigmatized and singled out. I guess either you segregate your already limited membership or you accept others. What is your purpose?

Just saw your lj post. I love the fact that you're writing material.

It's great to see folks using Lojban.


However, the livejournal is rather visible to the public. And so it's

really not the place for your non-standard orthography. 


Unless you can give me some real reasons not to, I'm going to convert

it to standard CLL style in about 12 hours. Feel free to respond

personally or to the mailing list. Just have some solid backing this

time, or let it go.

ta'onai it's not the end of the world.ui. The CLL supports explicit stress, and even has examples of it. ...



There's a Russian saying roughly translated to English as: "Let the child choose whatever toy, 

provided it doesn't cry". Its English counterpart is "Any toy is O.K. that keeps the baby at play".


Really, Alex, what was wrong with Andrii's creativity? I didn't like that style, too, but not to the extent of erasing or blocking - it is not at all offending or disturbing. Just skip it, if you don't like it! Maybe Andrii will find his confederates some day... After all, we are not that so many Lojbanists, are we?
