The Constructed Languages mailing list. (The green star refers to 
Esperanto. The Constructed Languages list does not allow advertising for 
languages intended as international auxiliary languages.)

I would like to. It would make everyone be nice, or pretend to be nice, 
or stay on topic. And since relatively few people want to be mean, and 
one mean person can upset many others, this should increase the amount
