I think his comment was meant in jest. I don't think any harm was meant by it as he is a holder and I don't think he wanted to offend anyone. It's like those times when a comedian tells a joke and only half the room laughs...you can't please everyone.
I take this board for what it is, a diverse group of people with differing personalities and opinions. once you get past this then nothing offends and it's water off a ducks back.
