Hi Marsha, Right on. Why DMB and Arlo find it necessary to demean you at every opportunity says more about them than they can ever say about you. Since they love to offer psychological reasons for why people say the things they do, I'll follow their lead and say the reason they savage you so much you is fear -- fear that if they abandon their dependence on classical dual reasoning (that many in the university consider to be the whole of understanding) they will fall off the earth into insanity (just as Pirsig described in ZAMM). Your response to them is exactly right -- restating your core belief and brushing off their snarky remarks like feeble fly specks.
