Why do Auxlangers go bahooties and Borgational while non-Aux-Conlangers
generally don't?

Suppose that I brew beer for a living or as a hobby.  I like my beer.
It's a good beer.  I like to drink my beer, and if I do it for a living,
I like the money it brings in.

Now, suppose I decide that *MY* beer must replace all other beers, or at
the very least all other people must drink my beer at least once a week
because MY beer will make everybody peaceful and loving.  After all, when
*I* drink MY beer, I feel good about it.  Therefore, the rest of the
world, for its own good, MUST drink MY beer.  Those who do not are either
conspiring against MY beer to further their own anti-peace-and-love
agendas or are ignorant sots in need of correction.


That pretty much sums of the difference...
