If they've written "many many words over thousands of years" for the merits of their philosophy, they are also perfectly capable to write multi-paragraph goodbye letters. That's the bearing it has on the parents claim. And many did.

Eh, not really - "multi-paragraph goodbye letters" here refers to the overly dramatic fad that internet denizens sometimes engage in when they leave communities, and they tend to have a lot of whining.
Those types of goodbye letters are not the types of goodbye letters stoics would write.

If you were able to pick up so swiftly what the person I replied to was implying, you too should be able to have picked up that I replied because I disagreed with that implication.
I doubt this, but would be curious to see a source.

I didn't find it rude at all, and your reply was far less productive than my IMO neutral question. You took offense on behalf of someone else and inserted yourself when it was unnecessary and entirely reliant on your interpretation and perception. Now we're discussing your perceived slight instead of anything of substance.
