I think your understanding is quite correct. It
is true many of us do not talk about even the
design of auxlangs here, for the simple reason
that the Politics of Auxlanging is very much
bound up in the design of the language. About a
year ago, we had someone trot out a
"philosophical" language, which I think turned
out to actually be an auxlang. That was all well
and good, but it wasn't long before the
perpetrator was preaching his wares as the Answer
to all our problems. The usual auxlang spiel.

While loglangs and auxlangs may be discussed
here, it should be noted that authors of same who
spew their politics here are subject to righteous
flaming.

It's a matter of prefering to keep this area
happy and friendly; the price may be to
vuluntarily exclude some topics. Auxlangs being
one such.
