Constructed languages, and especially esperanto are a thorn in their footOn the contrary. As an aspiring interlinguist, I'm studying many forms of international communication, including Esperanto. I find it to be a fascinating 'phenomenon' (as Sudanglo would say), the results of which I'm attempting to replicate with another language.

Altebrilas:I take the freedom to add myself.
If you know other linguists that are open-minded like you, please give me the list...
I just finished my phd thesis (actually, 30 min ago ), and although it's about an old Indo-European language, in two or three places I smuggled some Esperanto examples in.
I've also some articles in and on Esperanto stuff, and, oh yes, a diploma thesis.

Fiŝisto is a broader concept than fiŝkaptisto. It can be a breeder or seller of fish.

ceigered:I'd guess there'd be plenty who're open minded, only they just don't all care enough to bother getting in an argument with those who aren't overminded just for the sake of a language with anywhere between 200 000 and 2 000 000 speakers .So it would be honest for them to say: "I don't care about esperanto. I didn't take the time to look at it. So I can't tell at all if esperanto is a good solution or not. Maybe it is. But at first view -and I'm not speaking as a linguist- it seems not serious, although this may be wrong. I'm still waiting for more evidence about the credibility of this solution"

Altebrilas:"fisxi" seems strange in that meaning. Does "birdi" mean "to catch bids"? Or "krokodili" to hunt crocodiles? "fisxumi" would have been a better choice.It's a cultural thing. What's the prototypical action you do with fish? You catch them. That's not what you usually do with birds or crocodiles.
"birdi" estus bela germanismo.
(en la germana 'Vogel' estas birdo, sed la verbo 'vögeln' signifas fiki).
