No offense, but most stores would probably not appreciate you as a customer. They would prefer you shop elsewhere.

You must be one of those people that think the pizza shop owner must bend over backwards to accommodate you bec you're buying one whole slice at his store earning him a grand total of .65 cents.
How dare he not treat you like a king. . .

And the smartest most irrelevant comment so far  ::)

Your comment was indeed "brilliant".

The fact of the matter is that a business owner should be bending over backwards for all his customers, all he needs is one 75 cent customer to bad mouth the place and his business can suffer badly. This is not a case of bending over backwards, in my example and as it is so in the case of dan deals - all one asks for is some basic mentchlikeit and not to feel that the "owner" is making fun of one of his patrons within earshot. Other customers and patrons can smirk and laugh all they want but the owner should never condone and definitely not initiate such behavior

I didn't say he shouldn't bend over backwards. I said that retail store owners hate customers who expect them to do anything and everything just bec "i'm your customer and you need to satisfy me otherwise/bec I have the power to badmouth you.

They rather that those type of customers don't shop by them in the first place.

Nobody is asking that he do anything special, all that is being asked that he should NOT do something, and that is to not make fun of his readers.

I am often in awe of how much patience Dan has, ESPECIALLY in the DD comments sections...

Au contraire. Those who know me in real life can testify that I'm not a mean guy by nature. But back in the day, when I was known in yeshiva as the king of technology, people asked me the dumbest, most irrelevant questions, and would get impatient with me if I didn't understand their nonsense. It took quite a toll on me, until eventually, I started answering certain questions just like Dan did. For example, one guy came to me and asked "can you break Windows XP?" Without missing a beat, I answered "Sure. With a baseball bat, I can break almost any window you want."

My point is, I know what Dan is going through, because I have been in a similar situation. I can empathize with what it means to have nudniks hammering away at you with, well, "comments that leave you speechless". And thus I think it's perfectly understandable for Dan to handle it the way he's been handling it. In fact, I commend him for showing far more restraint than I (and I'm sure many others) would have shown.
+1 I agree with you that when ppl come to me all the time - friends of mine-and ask me all these dumb flight and rental questions Cuz they know me as the know it all of flights and rentals and sometimes it's hard to put a smile on and answer calmly

so, me to i would rather not get Involved but my thoughts: saver is very right. Some ppl its worth it to be nice and some just off the cuff are not. For someone complaining in the .65 slice is just not worth it. Give him 5$ and pls never come back to my store.  Sir, with all due respect, my father owns a pretty successful business in the United States. Its open for around 26 years. If i may say so myself, my father has his share of these crazy questions and sometimes he'll answer and sometimes in a snide way. But i tell u this, the person still comes back. (Oh and I've seen him do this during esrog season - "oh man you.... Here a 100 bucks. Pls don't shop here"). So elizm - if you don't like the way Dan or anyone in that matter deals with comments, either RTM or get the hell out if here. Its a free country and u obviously don't know this, but you don't have to like anything here then why u still here?!?!?!?  So ur that guy that asks for free things and then complains when it breaks?!?  Pls. Its utterly disrespectful the way your behaving.

One thing that a lot of people seem to be missing is that it's Dan's site. Not just for the fact that he has the right to do whatever he wants on it and people shouldn't be telling him what to do, but also for the fact that the chutzpa people have for calling him out on his own site.

Some (many?) here on ddf live in this little "dan" bubble and fail to see things how others see this blog from outside this bubble.. nuff said.
If you haven't realized, this is Dan's bubble, it even has his name on it. So sad how you can smell a lakwoodized a mile away

Missed my point entirely as is evident from your reading of the posts from last page and working your way back..

I like the way you and rots5 resort to Ad hominem attacks because of your lack of any logical arguments to add to this discussion. Here are some free ideas for future responses: "you are probably fat" "I know you are but what am I",  if you need more I will ask some 2 year old's for some more "brilliant" responses.
