Hugh, there's no cause here to worked up into a hysteria.
Wow, hysteria? I didn't mean to give that impression. I thought two short paragraphs was reasonable. My mental state while writing that was actually one of relief!
Anyone who doesn't like Lojban is free to make a new language.
Agreed. And since Bob's the one who disregards the value of the CLL, and actively obstructs explorations and valid queries on the extent of Lojban that he personally doesn't like, _his_ is the 'new' language. Hey Bob, Matt says you're free to make a new language! So do I, actually. (Though I would advise you carefully label it a 'variant' of Lojban. You know how pedants are.)
Lojbab has been correct on every
point he's made in this thread.
That's as may be, but the last point remains: Bob is not here for the benefit of this community (he will actively and happily cause strife to serve his purposes), and he's not here for the benefit of the Lojban language (except the particular version that lives inside his own skull).
