You're hallucinating most of what you take to be my opinion, to the point that I wonder if it's a waste of time trying to correct it. (I.e., assuming that I consider the dead to be offended by Atwood's post, that I think it harms the living, etc.)
Being callous means showing a lack of empathy toward others, in this case people who are depressed. Not all depressed people are dead.
Atwood's post may very well be self-therapy, but that doesn't immunize him from the social fallout of his post. One could might argue, for instance, that Achilles' effort in the Trojan war was his way of coping with the death of Patroclus, but that hardly condones his war crimes.
