I have a suspicion that this person is referring to  a post I made a 
while back on someone thought I had not read enough. I was frustrated 
and had sat up half the night reading and I lost my temper and said 
something about being called stupid. In fact no one did and I apologized 
to the list for my own remark.  The stupid remark had more to do with 
how I was feeling about myself than anything any one said.
