In the midst of controversy, I can't help but share
a little buzz: the first time my "under control" list is bigger than the "New
Word" list on Logflash. Little things mean a lot. Yes, I'm trying
again to do this. Perhaps I'll start contributing to the Lojban discussion
this time. (After the gismus, I get to tackle the cmavos, which are *much*
harder for me).
As for the rest --- as a former board member, I see
lots of points of view and understand them, and refuse to chime in on any
side. I respect strongly held opinions and hard work from very busy
people. I am confident that this will work itself out, with more or less
churning based on how much good will and good faith is exhibited on all
sides. I therefore plead for a bit more of that from all sides. I
know all sides feel they are exhibiting a lot of it now; my experience has been
that when all sides feel they are giving up 90% of what they want, compromise is
approaching.
