Well, maybe that's because you haven't noticed that "my"
IAL is just in its preliminary phase (there's just a
sketch of the grammar and a bunch of words). If I posted it
here it was precisely to try to get some help in developing
it, a help which up to this moment nobody here seems willing
to offer, since almost every reply to my post has been
definitely aggressive and destructive, as if my proposal was
a peril and I a wicked demon that had to be beaten down; and
that even though I asked for it to be viewed simply as a
conlang so as to avoid starting flame wars about the need,
convenience, etc. of an IAL.
