Chris, I wonder if you're reading a little too much into a very simple statement. How did you get all of that out of a single line? If we look at what exactly was quoted (just the facts, ma'am), to extrapolate all of that intent out of a single line requires not only a lack of the benefit of doubt, but an assumption of ill will.

Not to sound rude, but I was asking JVN specifically, not because he could give a better answer, but I assumed there was more to that event than what he wrote. In that case, he could possibly elaborate on what was actually objectionable. As it stands, I think it's hard to see what the problem is unless you are making (less than charitable) assumptions about the mindset of those who said such a thing.
