Ibn Ezra said a lot of things that the typical, yeshivish guy would find objectionable. Aside from his belief in Post-Mosaic authorship of the last 8 verses in Devarim (R’ Yehuda ben Ilai was also of this view; see Bava Basra 15a and Menachos 30a), he was also opposed to piyutim and yotzerot (as am I, and many Sephardim). The kabbalistic Yam Shel Shlomo, who was opposed to codification and concrete reality, condemns Ibn Ezra in his haqdama to Bava Kamma, as did R’ Ezra of Gerona. Ibn Ezra was a rational, logical tour de force, and I consider him one of our greatest minds, along with Rambam, Rasag, and others of like mind.
