To say I haven't been paying much attention to the international movement would be an exaggeration: I admit, I haven't been paying any attention to it. But just because the World Esperanto Association has taken that counterproductive and truculent stance doesn't make it the right stance to take. Esperanto, like AA, ought to be "a program of attraction rather than promotion," in my opinion. Attacking English will only reinforce the average person's impression of Esperanto as a toy for dreamy peaceniks and cranks, when the reality is that Esperanto could be very useful as an international lingua franca.
