Calling you a liar is not "name-calling", merely accurate identification. I have evaded nothing, contrary to your claim --- it is you who have refused to support your baseless allegations time and again. I have also quoted you scrupulously and fully from what was posted here, taking nothing out of context.

Which direct challenge was offered? How was I hypocritical? Which responses have I dodged?

Though we should remember the source of the quote, there is plainly no contradiction. Chomsky has "sufficient familiarity" with the work to conclude, I think reasonably, that Faurisson is no Nazi (a demented and sad excuse for a human, perhaps, but not a Nazi), and at the same time have "limited familiarity" with it so that he would be reluctant to discuss the work in any detail. There is, again, obviously no "contradiction" here, only Ken's pathetic and desperate attempt to smear.
So now Faurisson is Chomsky's "Holocaust-denying colleague", which would imply that Chomsky, being a fellow member, must also be a Holocaust denier. Talk about some twisted name-calling...
