Quite so! -- you have to admit it: he/they certainly get FULL marks
for auxlang propaganda skills! It's every bit as full of itself as any
auxlang I've ever seen promoted on Auxlang, Conlang or the internet in
general.
This particular poster may not have been promoting it, but to say that
it "has not been promoted anywhere" is a bold lie -- _someone_ has
been promoting the language over the last few years.
A quick overview of the linked page reveals some new information,
notably a native script system (which does anything BUT make an
already nonintuitive and utterly alien language easier to learn and
use!). It's kind of neat, but looks like something you'd find on a
sci-fi alien space****p. Otherwise, the language itself doesn't appear
to have changed much. I wasn't overly impressed when it first
appeared, and am only slightly more impressed now that it's got an
orthography -- I like native scripts, but find the idea of _anything_
other than Latin letters for a serious auxlang "ridiculous", to quote
the OP.
The language itself was never easy to learn and has never demonstrated
any quality that makes it superior to any existing natural or
constructed auxlang.
The personal attacks against auxlangers is cute and so stereotypically
auxlangy. This is something one _never_ sees on the artlang oriented
lists.
