When did "academia" classify people as "stupid and unimportant" -- Fish
notwithstanding, he's just one guy, not all "academia," and I doubt any
single comment can really fully express his ideas. He may not be fond
of "the common reader" (I think that was the actual comment, but maybe
you have another source?) -- but does that mean he really believes
everyone is stupid or unimportant, or does that mean he thinks the
-idea- of the common reader is bull? Remember Fish was the guy that
brought the world Reader Response theory....
