I wouldn't get too upset over encountering the rare occurrence that is lack of empathy on the internet. You made your request, and I'm sure the necessary people will see it, and at least take note of the idea. What happens after that is up to the folks in charge. Whether or not they can meet your request, in one form or another, is out of our hands.

What I do know is that nothing will be accomplished by letting your emotions get the better you, getting upset, or resorting to name calling. You would do well to handle the situation with a bit more class. I'd say the memory of your friend deserves at least that much.
