Wow. This was my bad in assuming everyone knows who Adam is--a very good natured and helpful person.
I should also add that Adam's comment was very tongue-in-cheek and aimed at people who took it that way. Again, I really apologize for taking that out of context and expecting everyone to somehow magically grasp the context especially as it seems it irked a few people. He was saying it to me and a few others, who he knows, and all fit the description, and it was certainly meant as a joke.
FWIW I accept your apology. I also would be remiss if I didn't point out that if this is the case, you've done him a huge, huge disservice by spreading a non-contextual insult towards a class of people that he probably actually did say.
I agree, and feel badly about it. In fairness to myself, it was made in a public place, but I should have thought about how it would affect people before posting it, and I do regret repeating it, especially since I have the highest esteem for Adam.
