So, this compound-wide argument currently going on...
I can see both sides of the story, but I don't have a particularly strong opinion either way, because both have taken an equally large misstep as far as I'm concerned. Sometimes... emotions run high and can no longer be controlled by the person who feels them, depending on how good a hold they have on them. But it... it shouldn't come as an excuse for widespread destruction. Everyone's still responsible for their actions, no matter what the trigger was. But likewise, telling them to stop feeling bad for being separated from their friends and loved ones isn't really acceptable, either. Particularly when you don't know where they might have gone for certain.
Both halves have kind of been exaggerating their point somewhat, though. It's wanting to make your problem seem bigger than it actually is to make it right to get so angry about it.
The people who have actually lost someone or that agree with those people are making it seem like, whether they're from the same world or not, they'll never see them again, and that the worst may have befallen them -- which isn't necessarily true; it's simply the parting that makes them upset, but some of those left behind by others are taking the venting way too far. And on the other hand, the people who want the former party to quit complaining and suck it up seem to be expecting them to just stop feeling upset altogether. And it's not easy to cut off your own emotions so suddenly and fully, unfortunately.
Both ways, it sucks, period. I'd ask if we could all just get along and stop squabbling and leave people to their own devices as long as they don't start causing damage to anything or anyone, but that's... probably not going to happen.
