What is the big issue, really. As said before, you don't want those topics, don't read 'em. They hurt noone.
As for the relevance of replying a goodbye-post: Many that says goodbye(for an example Silas, who will be missed by a quite a few people) announce beforehand, like: „I'll be leaving on this date etc." and this gives time for a lot of people saying a goodbye, to show them they will be missed; and perhaps make them change their minds. I would like to know I'd missed if I left.
This is a community, and many have some sort of personal relation to each other, even if they had just met in here.
