Susan: The Amsterdam Experience. Really funny, really good, Robin. Frankly, I vote this whole post (yes, I actually read it) the Funniest Post of the last few years. Congrats. Robin:This whole passage, Judy, it is disconnected from reality. You cannot tell me you know the future holds this kind of retribution. No. no, no, Judy: don't you see? The retribution will fall upon *you* if you persist in your ignorance of and prejudice towards Barry. I only hope that you are not taking all this lightly, Judy, pretending even that Robin is being ironic. How disastrous that would be, were you to read me in this way, Judyand such an interpretation of my actions here in writing to you would be possible only if you are afraid of facing reality. Robin is being ironic. Don't you see how convenient this is, Judy? No, Judy, you must give up all this hatred and bigotry and embrace the truth. I have already told you what that truth is. Oh, you just don't know what it is like to break away from this cabal of conspiratorial distrust and paranoia. But I have said too much already. I shall pray for you, Judy. > > J: Count on it...and tremble. > > R: I can't tremble. Did Paul tremble for having rejected Saul? No, Judy: Saul > trembled before the might of the Lord.
