If you can't take it, don't dish it out. The only reason you
mentioned Singler not being Vai was to try to make me look bad for
presumably calling him a Vai.

For my part, I would be pretty happy if you would drop your defensive
pretense of abiding hostility. It's boring and unproductive. I have
tried to discuss matters in a civil tone, though that's sometimes
difficult as you sure do go out of your way to try to ridicule me and
my work, and the work of Unicode in general.

What a sadly short-sighted view. Even one single computer-using Vai
might edit and publish The Book of Ndole, to interest and educate his
fellows.
