I'm just curious:
I go into Frenchconnection's thread "Prayers for the wife please!!!" where three times I offer my well wishes for the lady's full recovery without saying an unkind word to anyone, even in the brief exchange in which I explained why I could offer well-wishes but not prayers. Yet in a thread that should have focused on Frenchconnection's wife, I was directly and personally attacked, completely out of the blue and without any sort of provocation, by two different conservative posters, Chicken Sammich Harry and walkstall.

Is this sort of behavior now indicative of class and good breeding among modern conservatives? Or are there conservatives who do actually have enough genuine class and who do actually exhibit genuine good breeding, enough to condemn these two rank jackasses for the bad behavior they exhibited in a thread that should not have been dirtied by it? I'd be most interested to hear an opinion on that by Frenchconnection, but under the circumstances I'd obviously understand if he feels he has a few more important things to worry about.

Lets review what you said..

Can't do prayers, but I'll toss good thoughts and hope your way.

I didn't make a fuss over this. But I fail to see why it
was necessary to essentially remind everyone youre
an atheist. This is especially on a thread asking for
prayers, not exactly a bright idea.

This would have worked fine...
"I'll toss good thoughts and hope your way."

So I suppose it could be chalked up as a gaff.

I didn't know I would be in agreement with Glen, but I am going to say it my way... Perhaps two of us saying the same thing, will sink in with Sandy.

French Connection said: "Prayers for the wife please!!!" This was the topic of his thread.

Sandy, I guess you are unaware it would have been better to just say "I wish your wife the very best and will keep her and you in my thoughts today for a speedy recovery" then to bring up I don't do prayers. You start off saying this. It came across as wrong because although you meant well, you still seemed to wish to be disagreeable.

Next time, think about what Glen and I are trying to say. Debating is good, but not all the time. Choose your disagreements.

I didn't get the sense he was intentionally trying to start a
debate. I think it was just a case of using the wrong words
at the wrong time.

I see admin has arrived so this one may end up in the bunker.

That's how I took it. I didn't know why he had to point out his lack of belief, but a happy thought would have sufficed.

Allow me to apologize to you FC, I believe I unintentionally goaded Sandy with my "Sure you can pray" post. I should have left well enough alone and not continued the discourse.

My bad, won't happen again.

It's ok if you disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.

Did Frenchconnection say anything to you? If not, no one else matters. You gave you best wishes, nothing wrong with that. The rest of us will do the praying.
