I believe Larry's actions were entirely appropriate, and those of Dan completely inappropriate and unprofessional.

This whole situation is so unfortunate on so many levels. Dan seems upset that Larry is trying to use Bricklink in a way that he doesn't intend (even though the TOS doesn't seem to address the gray area of stores imposing "terms and conditions" on (...)
