13 reasons why it's PERFECTLY FINE to buy price mistakes

I just googled dansdeals and not one article came up....

Five pages and the only response to the Chilul H-Shem issue is that if it's not wrong it isn't a Chilul HShem. And that isn't true.

Anyone else?

1) a lot of gentiles admire blogers for those deals and glitches (ask CM...) like fox news and others.

2) why is it a chilul hashem that Dan tweeted things that were on other sites already? He did not figure out how to (so called outsmarted the system) he just tweeted it to boost his site and gain followers. Chilul hashem?? Ma Pitom??

Please don't take this as undermining the severity of chilul hashem but the fact of the matter is that jews get very nervous about it even when no one even looks their way like the story a friend of mine told me about a guy who was in the subway station and needed to daven mincha so he stood on the side and started ashrei out loud and people passed him without saying a word maybe casting a glance but before he knew it he had a minyan because every jewish guy came over to tell him it's a chilul hashem...
Point being that people make it like everyone is talking about the jews and it's a chilul hashem even though no one cares

On what basis are you saying so? Someone upthread quoted a Rabbi who said its Mutter. If something, you make a Chilul Hashem by behaving like you behave. And by not writing in you first post that you used to do the same a while ago before you were in the mood of attention. We have someone her Chaim Moskowits. And this is called Chilul Hashem.

Shame. On. You.

According to many poskim chilul hashem is only when one disgraces the name of God in front of Jews and Jews only.

No use getting into a halachik argument here but that's mostly incorrect. The ikar din of chillul hashem undoubtedly refers to doing an aveirah in front of 10 other Jews. That's what kiddush vs chillul Hashem really refers to. See Sanhedrin end of 8th perek and all rishonim there. However to some limited extent ther is chillul Hashem when non jews think you are doing an aveirah. Also an open Gemara in Avodah Zarah brought by many rishonim. It's not the main din but is true to a limited extent.

IF that's true, it only makes the argument stronger

[ChaimMoskowitz]

Which argument?

[Toasted]

Make that 14.

Please be more specific.

Missing the forest for the trees. See it from a macro level- an entire community of deal hunters who all look the same, showing up to milk as much out of every mistake as possible, to the point where minimum wage CSRs all across the country "knows about" Lakwood NJ. It makes many people uncomfortable (not that that makes ot wrong).

A man walks into a Catholic church and starts making a case for why Jesys is not messiah. He gets beaten to a pulp. Does that make him wrong?

Indeed on a macro level it gives us a bad image. Great point you said it very well.

Weak. And nothing to do with the topic on hand.

Stick a bunch of SDers, FWers, or FTers into one village and it would also have a reputation. Even more aggressive than DDers I'd wager.

Just so happens that they don't flock to one zip code.

If you're making any argument at all, it's that Jews should branch out a bit beyond Brooklyn, Lakewood, and Monsey so that they're harder to stereotype.

Then maybe this isn't such a good idea.

For the 3 frum people (non-Kiruv/shluchim) in the world that would move there?
