It sounds like at this point that everyone has a good handle on what happened behind the scenes. And I'd say it actually looks a lot more like people trying to be as inclusive as possible, rather than the other way around, which although it kind of blew up in our faces, is actually a good thing -- being too inclusive, I mean. :)
As for Kenobi, seems he's on the radar now, which is something I considered before I got involved, so no worries there. And I think, from a distance, he actually likes Pete, but has no interest in going out for drinks either. Haha. But on the way home -- maybe this will still be logged -- he'll just request everyone keep quiet about the saber and I'd really prefer the saber not be found, either. That's my only request.
