I do hope this doesn't get ugly. Please don't let it.

I think what everyone is trying to do is actually the opposite of insensitive and I'm sorry if anyone is perceiving it as anything other than everyone feeling someone who's first GE has been a little sad. Even if the reason for it is understandable, it is still sad for both involved.

That's all I'm going to say on the subject in public now. It's a heartfelt gesture people are trying to make and for anyone to turn it into something other than that hurts MY feelings a bit.
