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.

You could then just say that you disagree and state your case, without rudely asking why they posted it.
