I suspect it did. From what I know of Mike Adams, he does not suffer leeches gladly. If this guy was really in one of Adams’ classes, failed to do the work, then came to him asking special treatment because of some imaginary malady, I can see this being the good doctor’s reaction.
But you never know. I once had a student of mine miss a final exam. She simply never showed up for it. Automatic zero, right? That would teach her to be more organized next time.
So when she asked for a make-up, I asked for details (which I later verified). Her drunken mother had locked her out of the house late on the night before the exam. She roamed the neighborhood until she found a friend who would take her in.
