Oh we discuss auxlangs, but not as auxlang advocate-fanatics & propagator-zealots. We tend to examine their strengths as much as their weaknesses... mainly from both linguistics & aesthetics P.o.V. (Point of View). Lately we have been discussing pidgin languages - Tok Pisin in specific. When I was on the Auxlang list, a few very vocal people there "dissed" & dismissed my interest(s) in pidgin & creole languages. You will find that the members of the Conlang list are way much more open-minded, more linguistically-aware, & a delightful bunch of smartie-pants with sense of humour intact.
