I think this is different from a simplistic "there is no PC here" carte blanche. Thurgreed's momma jokes aside, there are some things you do not seriously say about a person's family and still expect to be accepted in decent society.

Did he know of your personal connection to the tragedy when he said that? Even if he did, why would you spend even 1 second of the paltry number of seconds you have left on this earth stewing over what someone on an anonymous internet chat board who has never even met those people said about them?
I have suffered terrible tragedy in my life and perhaps the anger that I sometimes direct at my imaginary friends is born of this. Us ladies aren't allowed to express our anger IRL, ya know? While I would never claim that any silver lining came of that event, it did change my perspective and free me from ever being harmed by another's words. I know what it means to be harmed. No mere words can ever do that to me. And I won't spend one single precious second of whatever time I have left on this earth fretting over something someone else says.
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me. The lesson wasn't worth the price it cost, but I learned it nonetheless.

I doubt Club has left. I suspect he is pouting, like me.

Truth be told, I peek in here sometimes even when I am not posting. It's such a warm and comfy place for me.
