I seriously doubt it John. Naysayers, trolls and detractors etc. are like leopards that never change their spots. An ingrained mental deficiency or in layman's terms a severe case of the dumb ass.
I call it the "Brady Syndrome" after Tom Brady of the NE Patriots and now playing for Tampa Bay. Everyone loves a winner but don't dare win too often or be too successful. This has actually morphed today into the "Cancel Culture," don't dare be too successful in any endeavor. In reality this may have begun back in the days of the great boxer Mudammad Ali. Somehow too much success causes a love hate relationship. Its really about jealousy and their own inadequacies.
They all fall into the NIP's (Negative Influence People) category which I've written about previously. Avoid them at all cost or they'll bring you down to their level, at least that's their goal. Jimmy "The Hat" Bradshaw called them the rowdy bunch at the track, same thing.
Sartin with a Ph.D in Psychology clearly understood all this and the importance of positive thinking in the process of handicapping.The NIP's are always on the lookout for company. Everyone should read Sartin's Special Report The Psychology of Winning.(An introduction to Win Therapy.)
Another great read that I previously suggested is a book titled Psycho-Cybernetics which I read around 1962 while bored in an Army barracks. Don't let the title scare you as its simply Greek for "steersman" or the power to steer or will the mind. This can greatly reduce the time it takes to become an expert, someone said it takes 10,000 hours or more. Even with mind control we learn by practical application and it must be applied for success. The combination is deadly.
All my best John.(papajohm3times)
