"It's a word that comes out of old English, "tailors and their ilk" is equivalent to "tailors and such"."
So what?
This is the way I meant "ilk", Fred.

"However this word in modern times carries a strong negative connotation and violates our policy against personal attacks (without delivering any significant information). Basically just a throwaway piss word."
Ilk has a "strong negative connotation"!!!??? LOL! :D
On the contrary, it just and only means "sort" or "kind".
It is neither any "personal attack" and nor is it any so-called "throwaway piss word".
I have a question for you. Do you want to edit here? Or is quarreling and fussing what you are really up to. Think about it.
I have the same question for you, Fred. If you are going to edit here, Fred, you really should know the actual meaning of words, before making any such comments. Factual accuracy and a NPOV within articles is what I am really up to, and not pov "quarreliing and fussing". Maybe you should look in the mirror and then think about that fact and about your own self and about that "ilk" that is always trying to block, ban, and censor me, for only their own pov verses the Wiki NPOV?

I highly recommend that you do look the word "ilk" up in the dictionary, Fred, as it fits this lying
and
hypocritical mob here that is falsely attempting to have me blocked, banned, and censored

Notice that your example shows the negative connotation I speak of.
This raises the question of whether you are aware of the effect of your language on others. Not much though.
