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.
