Addressing a person by name (multiple times!) where we'd use a simple "you" does seem patronizing to us Westerners, but it's perfectly normal in Japanese. To me あなた would be a bit too direct, but using it is by no means incorrect, so you can change crab_manさん to あなた if you feel more comfortable doing so.
