We'll use dictionary.com, since it's so handy:
Quote:
ad·here
1. To stick fast by or as if by suction or glue.
2. To remain devoted to or be in support of something: adhered to her beliefs.
3. To carry out a plan, scheme, or operation without deviation: We will adhere to our plan.

Item one clearly is the physical act of sticking. Not appropriate. Item 3 is, I believe, not appropriate - there is no sign there is any planning going on.
Can I assume your issue is with #2? Still looks pretty shaky to me. Perhaps you are right. It would be interesting discussion. Imagine if you'd quoted the Constitution, and your specific point (if #2 is it). And then stated that it looks like treason to you.
Call me crazy, but that might have furthered the discussion. I'm sure it's more fun to be threatening and vague though. Threats and intimidation builds such a nicer TFP, don't you think?
