Re: artlangs/auxlangs/engelangs (was Re: LCC2: Meeting our Community)

I agree that conlanging goals form a continuum and not discrete
points.  The "Balkanization" you mention is only necessary to the
degree that auxlangers as a species are prone to proselytization and
internecine squabbles that tend to spill over extranecinelly.  Not by
any means a universal trait, and certainly one that can be overcome,
but unfortunately common enough to have caused the split of auxlang
from conlang in the first place.
