Dan tends to alienate our gentle readers because he mouths off about his achievements and potential without a sense of grace or humility or humour - no tongue in cheek when Dan sings his own praises, yet we all await the promised results. You can forgive a guy who proclaims himself the next messiah if only he had some disciples or despite being called Brian, or whatever, but listening to someone sing their own praises before praise is merited is a tiresome chore. Sing with humour or wit or charm or humility, or wait until the results back up the claims. That, I think, is what people find irksome.
