I don't mean to be a poo, but perhaps some of this is best addressed in more private venues. I am very sorry if people's feelings were hurt. That always sucks for everyone. At the same time, we are all responsible for our own feelings, including speaking up about them, but turning things in to a big bummer just results in even more hurt feelings. While these awards are far from perfect, let's all try to appreciate the spirit and celebrate for those who are excited and who are getting acknowledgement and acceptance for their presence here, and maybe communicate our feelings more level-headedly in private so they can be properly resolved.
Thanks again everyone for all of your work and I hope we can still have a lot of fun tomorrow
