Well, I think you exaggerate a little. At worst, it could be called a storm in
a glass of water.

No serious damage, I hope?

Of course! That's my opinion, too. The truth is, that a lot of people don't
care about, for example, romlangs. But some others are crazy about them, and
Romanceconlang is a group where they can dig as deeply as they want. Those on
conlang who feel sorry that they miss the discussion can always join the group;
nobody is required to show his romlang before s/he will be admitted, and nobody
is required to have one in order to take part in the discussion.
The existence of such groups make it easier to do distinguish within the
sometimes very huge load of messages. Besides, they provide a way out for those
who simply cannot handle 100+ messages a day but are still very interested in a
specific field.

I don't think anyone questioned your good will.

I don't know why, but somehow this sentence sounds incredibly funny to me ;)
