I’m sorry if it seems like we’re attacking you, but really, even though you try to be on-topic, the effect is still “oh look, I’ve found a way of stretching this so it’s about what I want to talk about”. Take the time to put together the whole story. Tell it cleanly, completely, once, and see what happens. I’m interested to hear it myself. Until then, there’s no need to advertise with “coming soon”-style comments.
Can’t we all request that Lojban elaborate without jumping on him and down-voting him? It sounds like he has an interesting story, and I don’t want to risk scaring him off. It takes time to sit down and crank out a good post. I’ve been saying “coming soon” about a couple things I’ve talked about and that some people are asking for more detail on.
Maybe I’m more manipulative than you guys. I don’t care that he is being obtuse and bringing up the same point over-and-over again. I just want him to tell his story, and I believe him if he says that it takes time to put it together. Treating him like a pariah isn’t going to help anything. His comment seemed address to transsexuals reading this thread, who might not have been familiar with his previous posts. The opinion of transsexuals on this thread is very on-topic.
Look, I haven’t had the chance to really put together the whole story. I try to at least by somewhat on-topic.

Look at his posting history. We have tried that, and we are now at the “shit or get off the pot” stage.
