Someone slap me

I saw an acquaintance messaging another acquaintance whose also an acquaintance to the first mentioned acquaintance on FaceBook today. I use the word acquaintance loosely as we are all not close friends (attended the same school from eons ago). The break-the-ice message was sweet...

"Thank you my dear. Feels good to hear it from you. Have a blessed day ahead. God bless"

and the reply...

"Thanks to you my dear friend. Wishing you all the best"

Is it wrong that my first reaction to this was a snide smirk? *sigh* I’m so going to hell!
