I'm not questioning whether you should have screened the comment. I can't say definitively whether the couple is one of the people who would have a priori felt hurt by this or something friendlier sounding if they had known who it was from, so I can't really automatically accept the statement, "Even something friendlier-sounding would've been hurtful." Sorry, they might well have been, but I have major resistence to any statements of the, "X is Y," effect that aren't about one's own response.
Again, I'm not saying you shouldn't have done what you did. At no point was I saying that.
I was saying that the comment was honestly not meant as a big deal, and I think that this has all become a bigger conversation than need be. :) For that reason, I think I'm dropping it, if that's all right with you.
