This isn't a debate based on opinions or speculations. This thread is obviously of no use other then to entertain those of whom I haven't any interest in associating with.

So you don't wish to associate with people who have more experience than you, or have different opinions than your own? That sounds pretty closed-minded. To my eyes, people were quite fair and professional with you here. You've been given some fantastic advice -- empathetic and sincere -- by several people.

I am almost reluctant to lower myself down to the level of responding to the above post. I do feel badly toward your ignorance regarding my post, so in regards to your poor feelings; I will.

When saying lack of professionalism, I obviously do not mean every responder. I meant only the ones who make this an informal conversation where the are free to rebuttal other posters, give random opinions, and make posts completely oblivious to the OP.

I didn't feel the need to spell this out in my previous post due to the supposed fact that people here are smart enough to understand. I naturally thought you had the intellect to understand whom I was talking about. I consider it impolite to say names specifically.

I know you will be offended at my naive expectations regarding your intellect. Let this be a lesson not to jump to conclusions so quickly, yes?

Mods, for the reason of lack of professionalism, I ask that this thread be closed.

Thank you for your time,

Actually you asked for advice and criticism. You are acting quite unprofessional yourself. You accuse those whose opinions are different or more realistic than yours as being hostile and wrong. Part of being successful is learning how to take criticism- good and bad.

Also, please stop speaking as if you are more of an intellectual than everyone else here. You're 14, act like it.

I think this about sums up the problem, and since the OP isn't accepting the advice being offered, I will also take his request and lock the thread. It's going nowhere at this point.
