I totally don't get this. You call Klingon a "joke project" when it has 
a strong following, widespread enthusiasm, a complete grammar and 
vocabulary, etc., but then you allow something like Toki Pona, which is 
hardly even a language and arouses interest solely by being very much 
indistinguishable from a joke.

I don't understand this.
