"...don't respond"? Who died and made you mod?
People here have gone out of their way to give you advice, help, and even the basic understanding you so clearly lack. You have responded with indifference, arrogance, and now insults.
Let me tell you something, Jerry: You are not smarter than everyone here. I question whether you are smarter than anyone here. You are not more creative than everyone here. You are not more discerning than everyone here. You are, in fact, a very ordinary person with the personality of a Ginsu Knife salesman. This is great if you want to sell Ginsu Knives for someone else, but it's not going to get you anywhere in the business world. And when you start ignoring, sneering at, or directly insulting the people who
have tried to help you, even the people you haven't directed it at are increasingly likely to wash their hands of you and say "oh, let him figure it out for himself."
Did "they" tell you to ignore me, too? I hope they did. That would prove that someone who claims to be your friend is really trying to sabotage you by keeping you from the people telling you what you need to hear. Not that I care. I've given you enough free advice, which is my professional stock in trade, and gotten nothing back but childish behavior. You can solve your problems without any help from me after this point.
I should have said this back when you insulted me for the first time, but I cut you a break. I thought maybe you were just monumentally clueless. I was wrong. You're monumentally arrogant, and you have no reason to be. You've done the equivalent of walking into a conference of, say, petroleum geologists, and saying "hey, I like oil too" while knowing nothing of geology or petroleum, and then wondering why nobodytakes you seriously.
The mere fact that you
have to ask "what app do you download?" shows that you don't even have a rudimentary understanding of what you're trying to do. You don't know what you don't know. And you don't want to find out. You want people to do things for you. You not only don't want them to teach you to fish, you don't even want them to give you a fish; you want them to serve you a fish dinner. You are going to fail. You are going to fail because you don't know what you need to know
and you turn to rudeness when people try to explain it to you. Winners have an uncompromising view of themselves and seek to correct their own flaws; losers claim they're winners but deny their flaws and refuse advice. I think it's clear which one you're acting like. You are, without question, going to fail because of that. And it's your own fault.
