It's not a weakness to have those things affect you. When someone writes about certain topics, in a place where it is innappropriate to do so, without sanction, it is in fact giving them power to upset people.
If this were a support group for people who'd lost children to violence, and someone wrote a post making light of that, I don't think anyone would ask that they question why they are upset.
