[Tlhingan-hol] Things missing

> It’s a little disrespectful of all that support to express excessive
demands that you apparently believe are owed to you because you are so
gracious as to invest your valuable time and skill toward learning it.

you know,as english in not my native language i always make sure that after
i write an email,i read it again so as to make sure that i have not made
any mistakes. Surely some typographic errors almost always are missed,but i
believe that i would see whether i wrote something "disrespectful". You
suggest that i'm arrogant,determined to be "the big boss". Seriously ?
After all i wrote this is your conclusion ? What i wrote is my opinion
about what is missing from the Klingon language,for it to be made complete.
It was my opinion,and i believe mailing lists/forums etc. exist for the
exchange of ideas,between people who have similar interests.


> Don’t disrespect that opportunity by demanding that all politics within
the group change to accommodate your new idea of how things ought to be
done.

apparently you believe that you own Klingon language,and that you have the
authority to pass judgement on anyone who would say that there are things
missing ; that anyone new who refuses to "shut up" and say how wonderful
everything is must be characterized in the worst way,and be black-listed.


>  Are you prepared to spend money to get the Klingon language fixed? Or
are you just expecting a bunch of volunteers to do this for you?

did i write that money should be spent ? did i write that i do not
recognize that there are practical problems ? I wrote what would be nice to
exist/happen. I believe that from my first post i wrote how i realize that
there are copyright issues,which i understand and respect.


> Maybe you’d rather work with some easier language.

Since you know nothing of me,do not insult me by saying that i cannot cope
with the demands of a difficult language. Or by implying that i'm lazy. You
do not know the exams i have passed in my life,you do not know how hard
i've worked or under which circumstances i have studied thousands of hours
to meet the demands of my profession. Pass judgement on those who you know
in person.

..you answered the "who's to decide" by saying Okrand. I believe i already
said that too. Which part of "for copyright reasons" didn't you understand ?


> Those who come into the group like gangsters, determined to be the big
boss who tells us what we are doing wrong and how we need to do things from
now on. They generally cause disruption, make the mailing list unpleasant
enough that a lot of people unsubscribe, and they might last a year before
leaving in a huff, never to be heard from again.

ok,since you've got me all figured out,all because i "committed the crime"
of sharing some of my thoughts,i would like to write about the three types
of old members one finds in mailing lists/forums etc..

1. members who no longer participate frequently in discussions,because they
are tired after many years of participation. they feel that they have
nothing more to discuss,and are just bored to keep on writing about the
same things again and again.
2. members who are willing to share their experience/seniority with new
members,all in the spirit of healthy exchange of ideas/thoughts
3. bullies. in the high school sense of the bully.. those who think that
their seniority gives them the right to push around any new member,who so
happens to write anything that doesn't inflate even more,their already
inflated ego. Those who demand that anyone new,will be awed by their
knowledge and that whenever he disagrees he must be reminded that "he will
not make it around here" and that he better leave while he still has time.

how pathetic..
