Just to make it blazingly clear, since you didn't get it when Erinja delivered it in a tactful, diplomatic way:
erinja:At any rate, Arpee, I know there have been issues before with excessive use of these forums to discuss new constructed languages that aren't Esperanto. Let's keep focused, ok? There are lots of online forums that are for generic discussions of conlangs, but this is mainly an Esperanto forum.
erinja: And I invite you to take your discussion of the development of this new language to the appropriate venue.
Arpee: Isn't this the appropriate venue?[/quote]No!
No this isn't!
No, this isn't the appropriate venue.
A website for the learning of Esperanto is NOT the appropriate venue for your* Continual Parade of your "New And Exciting Conlanguage Flavor-Of-The-Week".
The "appropriate venue" would be one of the many, many, many websites devoted to Constructed Languages.
*To be fair it probably isn't only your Continual Parade, but also that of another poster who would post here and jump up and down and do the Happy Dance about your ideas he found elsewhere on the Net.

Arpee:tu amore existe in me core.I read that as "you love to exist in my centre". Oh well...
(your love exist/is in my heart)
I think it's fine to have a bit of other-conlang talk here, as long as it's exceptional rather than the rule.

Imagine a language mutually intelligible with Chinese, Japanese and Korean?BTW, Just feel like shouting:
Luck be to non-European learners, who don't have friends of any kind, and certainly no false ones!

Arpee:What do you think about such a language?I quote what you have written in your own profile:
"I want to learn Esperanto and teach it to others to spread it as the .. Global Auxiliary Language. It should be taught as a second language everywhere"
It seems to me that you can't consistently hold that position and at the same time encourage speculation about some other idea of your own for an AIL. Imagine a person who became a committed follower of a religion and then proceeded to demonstrate his commitment by encouraging speculation about or promoting one of his own invention!

Give it a try. If Arpee comes up with a serious question about Esperanto, then try to help him if you wish to. Otherwise, just ignore him. Speculation about artificial languages is one thing; toying with the readers of this forum is something else. Speculation is to be encouraged in its proper place. Toying with others is simply purile.
Sorry, Miland, erinja, AnFu, et al. You are all being diplomatic even though you sound exasperated with him. I am trying to "throw a glass of cold water into his face". I ask you to overlook my rudeness.

Long story short, most threads need to be a certain percent on topic here with both English and Esperanto before stuff goes down "Fekrojo" to translate a certain Australian idiom.
(I'll PM you Arpee on what I was gonna say about East-Asian-Mutual intelligiblity)
