No worries at all! I'm so glad it was a good conference that kept you busy and that you got to catch up with so many folks!
Yeah, it's always disconcerting to find that people with whom you have a collegial relationship do not share the same values as you. And because professional relationships are at stake, speaking up isn't always wise or advisable. But yeah, that cluelessness about (or indifference to) the way most folks live would make me think twice before potentially connecting anyone financially vulnerable or otherwise minoritized in the field to work with them. That may just be me being melodramatic, but given the number of grad students I've had crying in my office over he years, I'm perhaps oversensitive to things that could be red flags.
