I've read the entire conversation and I think Smurf posted what she wanted to post... she *knew* that the 50 year old woman comment would sting, because she put "no offense to 50 year old...". But, to her it must have been relevant to post the entire thing even though she could have easily edited it to remove the offensive part of it.

Then others both over and under 50 put their thoughts about it and posted what they wanted to post. The thread took some hilarious twists and turns.

I think if Smurf left over something this trivial, she's younger in her behavior then she is in years. It's just plain silly and unwarranted.
