Am I to infer that you do not get the reference? Or am I to ascertain that we should leave Star Trek to the Star Trek? My comment was very serious, in light of attempts to claim that discrimination is a religious freedom. Shirley you know about Stonewall [wikipedia.org], and I do not refer to the Jackson one.

You can more than interested, you can be sure of that.
I'll try parsing again in the new context.

I still don't get it. Where's - in this thread - that claim that you mention?
And what's the relation between a claim that discrimination is a religious freedom and the Stonewall event?
Further, I'm also lost in regards to the relation between the said claim and/or Stonewall to the 'Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra' meaning (without the culture and the stories stories behind the allegories, the language remains indecipherable) - case at the current point, your reference to Stonewall in the context of my reply.
Would the culture be shared between the two parties in the dialogue, they could exchange info or insults without MS (or govt as a snooping party) understand or intervene to stop an offense in progress.

You have made your point, c0lo, they cannot censor us if they cannot understand us. Right now I have an enormous Yellow Rubber Duckie and a Floating Letter N anchored in the Lagoon.
