Then I would say you'll never know until you do. I've always felt whether I do something or not depends more on what I intend to convey, not on how others choose to react to it. In the same event I get some enthusiastic approvals and maybe a few dirty looks (or perceived dirty looks on my part). Other than an official like my old bishop I've never had anyone make a negative comment.
Everyone will react differently to the same event so if I am wearing it to honor the event or service or to honor my progenitors or to please my wife then all I can do if someone is offended is say I'm sorry if they took offense but it was not meant that way and if they can't accept that I'm afraid it will have to be what it is. If a lot of people feel offended then I obviously made a miscalculation. That's never happened though. I have found in my life that no matter what I do someone will be upset so as much as I do want to please people that is like the odds of fooling them.
