I just don't understand how referring to over sixty guys as near deads is worse than referring to lawyer as a remora.

I'll have to talk to FoxHunter about his email to you, as I don't think he's suffering from Alzheimer's, but that his spell checker is not working. I don't think he meant to call you an "age bigot". I think he probably meant that you were just a "Big Idiot."
