John, I suspect if your colleagues could refute your positions with empirical argument, they'd likely do so. If the best they can muster is passive-aggression, then I think you having shut up a group of linguists says all there is about the validity of your position. Many people conform their beliefs in order to be popular or out of self-interest, which is intellectual corruption. Live for their boos, John!
