Oh we discuss auxlangs, but not as auxlang advocate-fanatics &
propagator-zealots. We tend to examine their strengths as much as their
weaknesses... mainly from both linguistics & aesthetics P.o.V. (Point of
View).
Lately we have been discussing pidgin languages - Tok Pisin in specific.
When I was on the Auxlang list, a few very vocal people there "dissed" &
dismissed my interest(s) in pidgin & creole languages. You will find that the
members of the Conlang list are way much more open-minded, more
linguistically-aware, & a delightful bunch of smartie-pants with sense of
humour intact.
