Angela, you still haven't gotten it yet. Judy assumes the worst she can imagine about anyone she feels like putting down. In your case and my case, she assumed that we never read the article in question. That, and that we are stupid and SO much less intellectually-endowed than her, of course. :-) In my case, I plowed my way through it even despite a complete disinterest in the subject matter. To me, *both* science and religion are on a par -- puny human beings trying to convince themselves and others that they've got things figured out. BORING. You're just an easy target, that's all. In a few days it'll be Delia (as it has been in the past). Or Sal. Or Curtis. Or anyone else who commits the Ultimate Sin of Not Taking Judy Seriously. Get used to it. As Curtis said about Jim, it's not about you. It's about a feeling of insecurity and the compulsion to "elevate" her image by "lowering" the image of others in her eyes. It's not personal. You're just the target du jour.
