Chomsky is not a moron. To call him a moron is silly and completely devalues your point.

Also, your failure to land an academic post is not because of your opinions about Chomsky. There are few jobs in academics for linguists and there are numerous applicants. If anyone is aware of your "over-the-top" opinions about an obviously intelligent person might want to think twice about hiring you.

I dislike Chomsky for his political views. But there are numerous intelligent academics who are deluded about the realities of economics and politics. Leave it at that.

I never called Chomsky a moron. In my post, I was challenging the person who said he was a moron. I quoted him, and you may have misinterpreted his quote as my words. They weren't.

Now that I continue to read your response, I'm thinking you may have intended to write to that person, rather than to me, right? It really looks like you and I are 100% in agreement in our views....
