Actually, what you said in the original thread was:

> [@Death and Credit Card Debt](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/death-and-credit-card-debt/555606/16):
>
> His wife may not have to pay her deceased husbands CC debt, but it’s certainly true that you and I will.  
> I don’t really see why everyone is rushing to attack the credit card companies, when the husband basically welshed on his debt. The ethical thing to do would be for the wife to make any effort to pay off the debt, rather than expect all the rest of us to pay it for her.

So a few hours ago you certainly weren’t “fine” with her not paying a dime.
