I do not begrudge you your compassion or your kindness. They honor your character. I do believe they are sorely needed in trying times.

But I haven't had the luxury of letting compassion and kindness be my only guides for a very long time. And this decision, as compassionate as it may be, has consequences not just for our group, but for this whole world. And this is not something you should have to carry on your own.

So yes, I do believe it was ill-advised. But it is done. If it turns out that I was wrong and your decision was correct, you will have my apologies. In the meantime, my worry goes to the potential repercussions.
