Topic Wiki

Ok so I've been warned by Commissar XYZ (who shall remain nameless, and who's team has reviewed my post for any anti establishment material) of the USSDDF (Union of Soviet Socialist Dan Deals Forums) to cease and desist in engaging in this controversial topic which is "disturbing the peace" and not leading to any goodwill (which is true). So now, on my way to the gulag for reeducation, I bid farewell to all the great masters of DDF, and salute them with my right hand held high, in the obligatory fashion, and announce-

HEIL DAN!!! LONG LIVE DDF!!! Down with the dissenters!

Farewell.
...And good riddance!
;D

....... while for reasons beyond me I've let you continue trolling here for years (without a single positive contribution that I can think of) for reasons even I'm not entirely sure of.

Been around for years? AFAIK only really active since Feb 2015. No?

So it seems. Didn't actually delve into his posts to see how long he's been getting on everyone's nerves. At least until now though it's been in JS. Now it's spreading :P

Yes-that's when I got more bored and so starting posting. :D

Getting on everyone's nerves? That's indeed been for many, many years.
You mean getting on everyone on DDF's nerves.

Dan - I don't think AJ is completely off base here.

As a traveler, I'm not a fan of Smisek. I live 10 minutes from EWR but don't fly United. I view him as the same villain that you do. As an investor, I wouldn't have invested in Smisek, but I don't view him as a villain. UA hasn't done too well compared to its competition since Smisek took over. However, domestic airlines have been trending to put lower values on FFPs. I believe most of the decisions he made mentioned in your post were made in the company's best interests.

I think going to sleep is a better option, for both of us. Wouldn't you agree?
As a side point, mere days before Rosh Hashanah you should exercise more concerning what the Gemara says-
כל המנבל את פיו מעמיקין לו גיהנם.
The way you start cursing right away isn't the best and I think that's something we would agree on as well. I doubt you speak like that in real life. Look at my past posts and I don't think you'll find a thread in which I use profanity either. To me, that says something about the nature of this debate (as well as the nature of the person himself).
Either way I'm going to tune out now and tune out ahead of a busy next day.
Good night to y'all. Don't let online dissent keep you up at night.

Thanks for coming out of the closet in my defense. ;)
Now this is an example of a rational post. As I mentioned, I don't like him and I'm quite happy he's leaving. I might even post celebration emojis or tell my friends the good news. But I don't actually hate him the way people here are posting, and I certainly don't think he's an evil villain.

That's it. I'm not quite sure what's the big deal with staring that. I know Dan seems to really loathe him and people join him in that sentiment agter reading his posts about him but after everything is said and done he's not the devil. He's simply a businessman.

Ooh, I love this line of argument.
Dan hates dissent. (FTR, I think it's stupidity that Dan hates)

Next on the agenda - someone defends Dan and gets attacked for being a Dan lover.
Life isn't about checking the boxes. Nobody cares.

Now he is only saying that he wasn't so bad. Had he been a murderer he would have been calling him a tzadik.

Hmmm I think I might've actually used the term chasid, not tzadik. Wait, maybe not? I'm not sure now.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

Yes it is. I doubt you'd say that freely in public and to people you respect.
It you would, then we have an even bigger problem.

Well I showed them to mine and they all agreed I'm not. I guess the logical conclusion is we have different friends?
PS. At least I have Ergel on my side (I know, only kind of, I don't want him to be forced to backtrack). FYI, I usually have at least one person agreeing with me in my arguments, either publicly or via PM.

At least I'm in good company...

Anyone that intentionally trolls and hijacks a thread doesn't deserve a response.
At least in this thread.

Let him threadcrap elsewhere

To be fair, I also thought you were joining in the spamming / threadcrapping...

Don't mean to threadcrap, but Chevra Ahavas Yisroel is eight (long) blocks away from Franklin Avenue, how can your apartment be two blocks away from each of them?

I'm a member of other forums (non-Jewish) and threadcrapping like this would get you banned.  This is an embarrassment.
