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.
Perhaps now he will be more careful with what he says - even amongst friends. Sometimes things said in confidence can come back to bite you.
What he said, even if amongst friends, btw, *is* wrong, and stupid, and should not have been said. But I'm guilty of the same thing, so beam, mote, and all that.
