I think it was Peace who said:

LF (SF): Teribus is a fine person, IMO. Referring to him and associating his name with the term 'ilk' is not becoming, IMO

What's your problem with "ilk"? It merely means "the same type" or "the same name", as someone could (but in today's world probably won't) say, "Dave Oesterreich, of that ilk." That would imply that the Oesterreiches were well known, and that I was one of that family that everyone knew about.

Now you might object to saying he's one of "the grammar nasties" (what is often even more pejoratively referred to as "grammar Nazis"), but that's a different part of your criticism.
