[lojban] Regarding jbodau in the community...

This is honestly and earnestly how I feel. I don't have the ability to block people or delete comments on the mailing list, but I will not even think twice about ignoring everything you post ever again and completely writing you off as a person if you post some kind of inflammatory response. It has now reached the point where I almost dread trying to catch up on the mailing list each day. I'm now ignoring entire threads because they degenerate into "well, if you accept *this* proposal..." and "If you use X's interpretation..." and post after post of unhelpful argument that seriously causes me stress just to see existing. I will try to say this as few times and as clearly as possible.

If you are not working on the CLL, creating media in or translating media to Lojban, filling gaps in the vocabulary, teaching classes, or actually learning the language, you are working against our progress and working directly against the people that have put in countless hours to actually help us meet our goals. You are expending effort that is useless to us and I personally do not want you as part of our community. You create disharmony, you create distractions to everybody, and I need you to stop it. I need absolutely everybody in the community to one of those five things or take your business elsewhere for when it's not a detriment to our community.

If you have an issue/problem/proposal/suggestion, it can be addressed to the BPFK either by the website's BPFK proposals/issues section, or by the mailing list, and it will be archived to be examined only when we've finished the new CLL and the dictionary. It will not be regarded or considered until then.

I'm trying to appeal to you as a person you know, a member of your community, and as somebody that has put actual serious time and effort numbering nearly or over a thousand hours into helping the BPFK and LLG. This is causing me serious stress and has, due to me cutting off lots of ties and contacts that were hurting and hindering me, now become one of the top five sources of health-hindering and life-hindering stress in my life. How terrible is it that one of your top five greatest joys in life is also one of your top five causes of pain? I'm at the point where I have absolutely no tolerance, so we can come together and put in one big effort to grow as a community, or you can keep doing what you're doing and not have me around any more. This is not a threat, it's just an IF/THEN.

(This rage-post does not necessarily reflect the opinions/views of the LLG, its members, or any subcommittee thereof. This is entirely personal in nature and should be read at face-value. Constructive comments and criticisms are welcome; inflammatory/defensive/angry responses and their posters will be written off and ignored.)
