::Claps!:: Thank you for "dissociating yourself"! I'm not indicating whether
I disagree or agree with Christopher Wright, but I'm congratulating you just
on principle. I don't often see "dissociation" on boards where people are
flaming. More often I see people get drawn-and-quartered by their opponents
disagreeing how to disagree with the person. Andrew was probably getting
pushed about by some people saying they didn't want to hear ANYTHING about
auxlanging on this boards, while others said, "We're interested in hearing
about how colors are named or prepositions are formed in Ygyde, or its
morphology, but we're just not interested in hearing that 'Ygyde is the best,
most proficient, most logical language ever created that should replace all
others!'"
