I actually speak to SM off and on OOCly and the Bang vs. Goroh rivalry over Litchi is one of those things I tend to have fun with, mostly joking around. Especially since Goroh/Litchi won't happen.
Going with that, I've started refraining from sad farewells when someone drops a character. Having dropped a few myself, I personally always feel guilty to see all the people begging for me to stay or saying how much they'll miss the character. So I try to keep from doing that, especially if the player is staying on with other characters still.
That said, I can see where you're coming from. Taken out of context, it does look pretty blunt and callous. I'm not sure if SM took it the right way or not, since I haven't talked to him lately. I'll have to find out.
