I am no longer a tinker because I went to the tower. One cannot fight the shadow and follow the leaf. While yes I still consider myself to be a tinker, they do not consider me so as I have fallen from the leaf. All this constant nattering about me dodging your questions on nationality is absurd as I have no nationality, I am tinker. Also let us not forget that the entire Aiel nation is "former tinker" and for the most part they didn't turn out so bad. As to why I'm here, I'm not entirely certain. I shall be abstaining from vote this round, because unlike you pack of bloodthirsty hyenas, I prefer not to have someone's blood on my hands, let alone the blood of an innocent. The absolute lack of any evidence is not enough to make a claim on anyone's status, you sit around and question where people are from and when you find anything unusual they're branded as DF. The world is a large place my friends and I assure you, your limited experiences in them do not cover the broad range of life. Just because it is different does not make it wrong.
