Speaking of which... he's suddenly become awfully quiet. Has anyone else noticed that? ;)

I think he realized he lost.  Either that or it was for the Sholom V'achdus.     I was kidding about the Baltimore thing btw, You learn to live with people making fun of you when you come from there.

Theres something very unique about Baltimore. My wife saw a guy walking around the kosher supermarket here with a live parrot on his shoulder.  People here know how to take it to the next level.

Satisfy 1 customer, he'll bring 1 more. Piss off 1 customer, he'll chase away 10.

No dog in this fight, but whether or not you agree with elizmm, his underlying point - which may have gotten lost in all the bickering - does carry some validity.

Now Dan can take those words to heart, or (more likely, and what I would do) ignore it completely, but its not such a crazy stance to take.

Why the hate?! If it stings does it mean i hit a truthful nerve?

But lets not talk about what i said bec why should we...do YOU think its nice to walk into a seforim store open at 330 on erev shabb (when shabb starts at 4) beg the owner to stay open so YOU can look for a yarmulka and then ask for a discount on an item which costs 3.50?!?!?   

Just sayin! :-).

BUT i don't mean anyone in specific i love everyone! So im sorry if i offended anyone!

No hate. I was really kidding.  And no you did not hit a nerve, I'm used to it already, as is any Baltimoron who was ever out of there for more than 5 minutes.  And that story is awesome.

I don't think Dan has ever made fun of a legitimate customer. It's the irrelevant and irreverent ones that get this kind of treatment.

I'm late to this conversation but I've been following it all along. As a pretty new DDF member and a not so new DD reader, my thoughts are as follows:

The newbies stick to commenting on the main site, which is basically an "ask Dan" session. Dan has incredible patience and  incredible kindness in responding to every single post that is directed at him. He could refrain from responding at all or just brush everyone off and send everyone to DDF to get their questions answered, but he doesn't do that. Anyone commenting on DD appreciates/should appreciate that.

Now every once in a while a comment so preposterous comes along, and Dan (or others) posts it in this thread. Why? Well, it must be Dan's way of venting without insulting the guy publicly. Yes, it's private over here. How? The illiterate/too-lazy-to-read-the-post posters are not the same people that are posting and viewing DDF. In order to make it to DDF, one would need the tiniest bit of literacy to figure out the "dansdeals" captcha when signing up. Additionally, they would need to be diligent to actually go out of their way to sign up to ask their questions on DDF, something that won't happen to the lazy DD poster.

TLDR; Everyone should be happy, dumb and lazy aren't on DDF
