That remark wasn't meant in any way to belittle the people he met but to remind him that he's been to Scotland to meet with people who he apparently now considers sheep shaggers!
I don't know Aaron at all and have never interacted with him before yesterday so I can't really say I don't get along with him. I rarely post on boards but his juvenile attempt to sully the reputation of someone who has worked hard for years to earn the respect of her peers rubbed me the wrong way. There was absolutely no need for it.
Ask yourself this one question; how would you feel if you were on the receiving end of that attack? If you were not totally established but working really hard to get there? How would it feel to be pulled up in a public industry forum that's frequented by your peers by someone who "seems" to have a strong influence on the way people perceive you?
I'm willing to bet you'd not be chuffed. I'm also willing to bet that you agree he handled it badly, but because you'd prefer not to burn bridges, you'd rather sit on the fence (this is deja vous, I've had this conversation before). I can understand that Ross, it's obviously safer in our line of work to be known as the person that sat on the fence than to be known as the person that went against Aaron or the likes of him. ;)
By the way, Windows says to say hello and he wants to know how you've been!
Cheers mate.

Strange thing is, you two are so alike its uncanny. Both smart asses, very quick and smart minded. Perhaps this is why you don't get along
