I feel like I need to clarify.
I personally thought the story was inspiring, beautiful, and uplifting. I personally believe that Hashem has "his hand" in everything, large and small. I personally don't have any ill-will towards Dan for posting it, and would probably have done the same.
However, absolutely none of that forecloses my position that some people on DDF and FB are mind-numbingly close-minded and egocentrists. And some are downright disrespectful. The end.
