I hear that you're triggered by those endorsements. However, all those endorsements are standard style endorsements for a book. They point not to me, but to my actions, and evaluations of my actions in writing the book to which those comments refer.

If you actually focus on interpreting what they say, they do not say "Dr. Tsipursky is awesome." They say things like "Dr. Tsipursky has done a terrific job..." and "Dr. Tsipursky has done a great job" etc. They are about my actions. These actions draw support from people, who wish then to show support through endorsing the book.

The book was published by Intentional Insights. I am also donating more than half the profit from author's royalties to Intentional Insights. So this is an Intentional Insights book as much as my own. Hope that clarifies things.

Anyway, I see that you intend to keep trolling me. Please consider how your actions and words come off to others. Thanks!

If you believe that I am trolling you, the correct response is not to reply, not keep "feeding the trolls".

An observation: Every conversation between us that has ended, has ended because I chose not to reply. The same is true of every other conversation I see you involved in. You're incapable of not replying.

...Well, that's one way to get someone to stop replying.
