You are the only 'issue' at hand here mate and I suggest you remove it and give yourself [it] a rest. You'll go blind otherwise:-)
Considering the success my tips had and the animosity it has attracted, rest assured that I will never bother repeating this exercise. My first time ever offering a tip thread and certainly my last.

I really have thought long and hard about posting a reply with regard to the posting behaviour of yourself and other forum members. (Maybe not long enough.... because here I am posting!
)
I have an observation that I'd like to detail to you (and the other forum members) and as it is an observation, it in turn represents my opinion.
The first point I'd like to make is that your tips have been very good and I'm sure a number of forum members (and guest) have made money form them, which in turn is obviously appreciated.
The second point is that I'm not exactly sure if you know why you post them on the forum. At first I thought like most of us that "bear our punting soul" on a regular basis - with some good, bad and indifferent results - in an attempt to help your fellow punter, enjoy some glory and actively participate in a public forum and provide a vibrant forum for us members to benefit from.
However, I'm not entirely convinced that this is enough reward for your contribution. To incessantly, knowingly and actively object and demur other forum members contributions to the point of overbearing others views is not healthy and does not facilitate the core characteristic of what a public forum does - providing more than one point of view.
Baiting, goading and imperious behaviour really is self-indulgent and gratuitous to the point of being obtuse.
If it is unconditional love, approval, refinforcement, recognition, appreciation, praise acclaim.... or any other word for self-confirmation - I think you are going the wrong way about it.
It is equitable to presuppose that - from your own divulgence - you are a successful (?) conveyance in the Punting World.
But seriously mate, all the negativity is really disagreeable.
I admit that I have not been one to follow your tips - and not for any particular reason or issue - but I do take umbrage at your Modus Operandi.
In summary, your tips are appreciated (As all successful tips are !), but the negativity, goading and pursuit of self-proclomation as the "be-all-and-end-all" is not engaing.
Good Luck in the future (should you continue to post or not)
Yours In Punting
P.S. Mate, I don't know you from a bar of soap - but for f**k sake grow-up
