I have come to know James somewhat through off-list conversations. In fact,
it was I who invited him to this forum. I have always found him to be a
bright young man and a very competent conlanger. I also remember being a
fiery-eyed young 15 year old. No injustice escaped my wrath. Age tends to
gray more than your hair as what was once viewed with the clarity of a black
and white image begins to fade. This need not be pursued here.
Politics aside, James is a skillful conlanger worth watching. In this forum
he should be judged by these skills alone.
Stay curious,
David
