I don't think ridiculous and intellectually dishonest hyperbole are
necessary. In particular, to use your terminology, you are darkening
the world with discrimination as well. The choice is whether to
discriminate against users who would prefer to work in an environment
where they recognize the scripts, or against users who would prefer to
use a script different than the local Wikipedia. Obviously one of them
must be done, and this is a matter of pragmatics and which policy we
think is best, not of "discrimination" to use your ridiculous and
frankly idiotic terminology.
