There is some guy on the forums of Ray Kurzweil's website who regularly goes off on these huge tangents about Lojban and Pot and how AIs will all be the multi-agent Lojban speaking, pot smoking embodiments of... something... Thus, where-ever/whenever I see the word lojban, I tend to have a negative reaction. I did manage to have a sane conversation with Steve Omohundro about Lojban when he spoke at my school last year, so my reaction has tempered somewhat. RichardKenneyway seems to say more about it (usefully) than I have said.

Years ago I was involved with both Loglan (the original) and Lojban (the spin-off, started by a Loglan enthusiast who thought the original creator was being too possessive of Loglan). For me it was simply an entertaining hobby, along with other conlangs such as Láadan and Klingon. But in the history of artificial languages, it is important as the first to be based on the standard universal language of mathematics, first-order predicate calculus.
