Well, it could also be insensitive going around and blabbing about your professor's death in the family. When my grandfather died, the last thing I wanted was for people to come up to me and remind me over and over again what had happened. Perhaps they understood this, and weren't signing the card out of privacy concerns? Or maybe they thought it was inappropriate coming from them if they didn't know the professor personally? I don't know about you, but if one of my classmates who I wasn't close to [i]at all[/i] walked up to me after my grandfather's passing and tried to console me, I might have smacked them upside the head. It's uncomfortable enough dealing with death; you don't need random people butting into your life, too. I can appreciate your sentiment. It is very sweet. But you don't know the whole story, and they may not have wanted to call you out for invading your professor's privacy. Calling them assholes is likely going to do the exact opposite of what you were hoping it would do; I doubt they will be kind to you in the future, or that they will track down the professor/card to offer condolences. Just some food for thought.
