As a fellow community member and someone who has regular read and replied to your forum submissions over the years, I can not in good conscience, endorse your services.
Winning at poker does not give someone the qualifications to teach others. In many cases, trying to do so is both unethical and irresponsible.
Let me remind you of what I originally posted, because I disagree with how you are characterizing it.
Was it Disparaging? OK, sure. This is a poker forum, comments can be a little brutal and disparaging without being dishonest or malicious. Could my comment have been a bit petty or inconsiderate? Sure, probably to a limited extent, I can recognize my own biases. But I can be a little biased without betraying my core values or sacrificing my integrity.
Inaccurate or misleading? - NO, it wasn't. At minimum, it wasn't written in a way to be deliberately inaccurate or slander you.
Can trying to promote coaching services be unethical or irresponsible? YES, it can. And I have professional experience in coaching both inside and outside of poker, so pointing this out was important to me.
There is also a Huge difference between me writing something MIGHT be irresponsible, and knowing for a fact that it's irresponsible. I don't need to know for sure, and I acknowledged the possibility I could be wrong. Someone who is selling a product should recognize the difference.
I shouldn't need to explain the differences between any initial 'hostility' I first posted in your thread, and your subsequent reaction. That you keep trying to justify them as 'tit-for-tat' is risible. You are the one being misleading, not the other way around.
