I'll re-iterate a couple things: A. I didn't say "those who didn't" or "chose not to" go, but those who "couldn't". But more importantly: B: I said it *comes across* a bit disrespectful, I *didn't* say that it actually *is* disrespectful. Furthermore, my whole point was nothing more than to merely suggest that *maybe* the delay should simply be somewhat less, *not* a demand or expectation, and *not* even a suggestion that they should all be released as soon as is technically feasable. I was very careful to choose wordings that would not get misconstrued as such, so please don't twist my words into insults that I never made just because you don't agree with an idea that I merely placed on the table.
