My reason for comparing Klingon to other languages is not "to point out how 
Klingon is somehow weak, incomplete,
or otherwise inferior", although it *is* all three of those.  As for 
dismissing the answers I don't like:  I choose which answers to accept.  Whether I 
like them or not is the entire point!  It's called "a difference of opinion".  

You consistently and vehemently discourage any approach (i.e. mine) to 
Klingon that doesn't match your own.  Even if I were fluent in Klingon, my attitude 
toward it would not be different.  

Most of what I say on this list is not a criticism of Klingon, but your 
attitude of discouragement promotes mine of criticism.
