I have often remarked on how Chomsky's board treats inconvenient facts and unwanted views in the same way that the totalitarian states that Chomsky so admired treated people who noticed inconvenient facts and people who held unwanted views.
I see that you are of the same view.
I'm not on Chomsky's board. You've yet to make a coherent argument that will stand on its own, I'm telling you a third time now: I am not a Chomsky hater, nor am I a Chomsky admirer; his is a name I've heard on this list, but I've not investigated him. I've engaged only in a campaign to verify what you've said, I've not attempted to defend him against your accusations. As yet, you've not presented compelling, irrefutable evidence. After what I've seen the past couple days, Occam's Razor tells me it is because such evidence does not exist, but I'm giving you one last chance to convince me. Give me a valid, pre-79 quote, give me a valid, conflicting, post-79 quote, and tell me what is damning about the two quotes, if you can. The clock is ticking. Reese
