We implore you to carefully review the progression of discourse and
consider for
yourself what may be concluded from the positions put forth there. The
outcome
is not much different than what we expected when we submitted the original
message, at least in terms of pushback. The amount of explicit support and
advocacy was incredibly encouraging and reaffirming.
You seem to have rather low standard for "encouraging and reaffirming".
The Lojban community numbers in the several hundreds if not thousands.
Maybe 1000 copies of CLL have been sold. People who bought it expect
that the language will not lightly be changed under them.
You and your few others (relative to that 1000) of course do not respect
that, which is your choice.
My position requires me to oppose yours, and to consider your efforts
schismatic.

For the other query in this thread: perhaps LLG is unnecessary as an
organization, but if Lojban is ever to become something other than a
word-of-mouth hobby, it needs an business organization in any relevant
political entity capable of dealing with laws, and finance, and business
matters. LLG is a nonprofit that can accept financial contributions (in
the USA) that are tax-deductible. That is why we had the money to
publish CLL in the first place. And why we can eventually hope to
publish a dictionary and other books, and sell them internationally.
Esperanto and all other significant language projects have one or more
organizations in several countries.
Of course maybe you and your friends are happy with Internet-only
materials. I'm an old fossil by your standards. And perhaps when I no
longer have the capability of participating, others will decide to fold LLG.
