He's definitely not. It's just that some people who produce most noise - not judging whether this is good or bad - on this list oppose it. That doesn't mean nobody else has the same opinion.Then they should speak up and add to the discussion. If, in discussion X, something gets decided,
(a hypothetical discussion on a hypothetical list, could be the BPFK list)
Lojban List is not the forum for *deciding* anything about Lojban. That is what the byfy is for,
Maybe not for making *formal* decisions concerning changes of the language, but a discussion should hopefully be able to show us what the community wants, and what things we were (or would be) able to agree upon. Making some change official then is just paperwork (I know you're going to tell me it's more complicated than that, but voting on something that a prior discussion showed to be desired by the masses is not much more than a technicality in my eyes). I prefer discussions to be public so that everyone can participate. If 20 people voice their desire for a given change (say The Merge), I don't see why it should matter much where they voice it as long as it's in public. It will tell us that people want it to happen, and that's worth something, even if it does not by itself constitute a formal decision. Rather, it should act as a motivation for the people in charge to (re-)consider its adoption.
