I'm sad that Rebecca has left the group because they perceived this message from Maltz to be a lecture about Klingon heteronormativity.
That's one point, but I am sad that she didn't even want to give us a chance to talk about it.
My take away from the message is that Marc O is doing a great job of [...] viewpoint on Qo'noS... but *then* he goes on to show how those viewpoints are being expanded, forgotten, disregarded, or upended by novel uses of Saw/nay and tlhogh.
That's how I saw it as well, and I think he did a very careful and neutral approach, trying to satisfy everyone.
I hope that with the context I've just described people will read this message from Maltz as I do: positively.
I hope so as well. -- Lieven L. Litaer aka Quvar valer 'utlh Grammarian of the KLI http://www.facebook.com/Klingonteacher http://www.qephom.de/e/message_from_maltz_170713.html
