Remo,
Seriously? You think you need permission? Don't paint yourself as a
victim of tyranny in this scenario.
That was not the intent. It was just a way to highlight how pretentious was your tone in asking Michael about "what does he wants". I might not need permission to discuss but it seems he owes you a justification.
Seriously, your post is full of negative and aggressive sentences. You also misrepresented the entire thing as the point in discussion is to wheter add some elements like quotes and partenthesis and so on, nobody talked about "deep reform" and nobody said that he doesn't like lojban".
Don't try to paint yourself as victim of boring, pointless and uninteresting discussions since nobody forces you to be part of it.
