Groupon is no longer the same company it was 4 years ago; you might be biased by being anchored to a $20 IPO price, which you should actually blame on the investment "banksters"; thousands of merchants are grateful for the relationships they have with the company and continue to maintain those relationships; at least one YCombinator company has been purchased by Groupon. Calling it a "scummy greater fool play" is not appropriate in light of these facts.

Are the thousands of merchants happy with Groupon outnumbered by the thousands of merchants not happy with Groupon?

Your "facts" more resemble opinions phrased as assertions. Which is your right, but if persuasion was your aim, the feedback might be useful.

Mr. Campos, if you're interested, I'm available for discussing this offline. Best regards.
