   • 1999 June, Pejno Simono, “Faligas la fundamentojn de esperantismo”, in Monato, page 27:

     Punkton post punkto la aŭtoro pruvas al ni, ke tio, kion ni publike disvastigas, estas aŭ mensogo, aŭ tro naive kredata mito, aŭ konscie lanĉita duonveraĵo, aŭ, plejbonokaze, simple stulta kaj rekte taŭga por forpeli novajn interesiĝantojn.

     Point after point the author proves to us, that that which we publicly disseminate, is either a lie, or a too naively believed myth, or a consciously launched half-truth, or, at best, simply stupid and directly suitable for driving off newbies who are becoming interested.
