I am not interested in discussing this privately.

Linking and meta tags are not the same thing.

That's nice.

What are you *talking* about?

Here is an exact mirror of the old site:

http://www.digitalkingdom.org/www.lojban.org.old/

Please show me where there are links to loglan.

Links are not tags. There's a link to the Loglan site at
http://www.lojban.org/publications/misc.html, albeit the old site (my
bad).

What does my calling you rude have to do with my posts bitching about
you calling me rude? You annoyed me, I am thus less inclined to be
polite to you. I don't see a contradiction.

I have not intended to impose an anti-Loglan POV, nor, in fact, do I
have such a point of view. We disagree about meta tags. Deal with it.
If you would like to give me a list of places where you think *links* to
the Loglan site would be appropriate, do so and I'll consider it.
