With regard to the title of the post: JudyQuote1: > > Deranged. You're deranged. Not just REEEEEELY REEEEEEELY > > STOOOOOOOPID, although you're that too.

Did everyone notice the "escalation" here? In Judyworld, putting things in all caps is a way of making her specious arguments seem more definitive and authoritative. Recently, she perceived that calling people "stupid" wasn't really having the full effect she was looking for, so she escalated the term to "REEEEEELY REEEEEEELY STOOOOOOOPID." All the difference in the world. Makes it a more powerful and intellectually sound argument, you see. Now she's done the same with "deranged." Not powerful enough in lowercase, she escalates it to all caps and SHOUTS it. I think the theory here is that making 48 hysterical, over-the-edge posts in one day and shouting out the word DERANGED over and over in them is, to Judy, a convincing way to prove that she ISN'T deranged. Interesting logic. But, as the thread title suggests, "Stupid is as stupid does." Or should that be "STOOOOOOOPID is as STOOOOOOOPID does?" Hmmmm. MUCH more powerful and authoritative the second way. If you think like Judy, that is.
