Does Kind = Mister? Where does Unique fit into this, is that a 3rd or 4th

Kind = Mister = Unique.

What signals the opening of proper debate? I was only waiting for the
member's meeting and jboselsla to end.

Me feeling up to it. Ok, that was incredibly arrogant. But you know well why we are all allergic to the issue: it was acutely painful. And as I've found in writing my summary today, while I think I know what is going to be added to the gadri, that doesn't mean intension is solved in Lojban: especially because John's and And's takes on intension are incompatible. (And while And's resembles more the linguistic mainstream, John's is the take that is more consistent with the design principles of Lojban, and what I hold Lojban must go with. Sorry, And.)

I've written up my take on the wiki; I guess that's a start of something. Please tell me which issues I've missed, and I'll add them there. Not resolve them there, not by a long shot; but add them to a concise listing of what is to be done.
