You don't understand at all! You're absolutely stupid if you can't
realize that everyone here wants to be original! Nobody wants your ugly
root words or to hear why your stupid IAL should be spoken by everyone.
Kua Sai wants to make a vocabulary, not to borrow yours wholesale.

Are you so stupid that you cannot realize after being told at least ten
times that we are interested in beauty first, originality second, and
ease of use last? Would you tell Michelangelo that he could use your
Legos to make a sculpture? Of course he could do something with it,
perhaps even make something beautiful, but that is a remote possibility.
Would you tell him instead to use your five-year-old son's Play-Do work?
Would you give Mozart a sheet of music that you created in a completely
random manner? Would you give him the music to a heavy metal song?

You seem to think that your ugly language is the best that could possibly
be made. You sicken me! You have absolutely no intelligence as far as I
can see, and I will breathe a sigh of relief at your leaving.

We have vastly different objectives. You care nothing for beautiful words
or a pleasant-sounding phonology. We value both very highly. On the other
hand, most of us do not care if any of our languages are even possible to
learn, whereas you have that as a main objective and fail miserably!

I think it would be best for you to leave immediately and never to
consider returning.
