Well maybe tinkit has the distinction of combining in a single person at once
several much abhorred vices. But no single vice is unique to him. Just as 
Steve showed a similar monomania, so I've posted innumerable messages
criticizing Lojban. Plus, as I just pointed out in my last message, tinkit
mitigates his vices by the Virtue of having quite a good lojban-to-english ratio in his postings. He took the trouble to learn the language enough to use
it a bit, which surely means he can't squarely be placed in the bad guy camp.
