Posted by: Tatyana at April 1, 2004 04:28 PMAbout time you realised this. I am now re-inventing myself as a neocon who supports Stalinism against Islamofascism in the 21st century but who in the late 20th century thought Islamofascists and Afghani warlords had to be supported in their fight against the Soviet Union. It is immaterial that i was pre-pubescent at the time, i *will* hold these opinions without my head exploding!

Posted by: language hat at April 2, 2004 07:46 AMAs a retired prof of linguistics with a quarter-century of teaching behind me, I'd like to say a word in your defense. Most pompous asses I've run into are my age; this one is getting an early start; he'll probably end up writing books with titles like "How the Mind Works"... You needn't take him seriously.
