Sorry you feel that way.
I guess it is part of being on a forum. There are always people who think they are above everyone else and have to voice it. Unfortunately these people tend to also be the people who are the established members. It is what it is. you either grow thicker skin and let it run off, not participate, or succumb to the way they want you to act.
Look at JD, I'm sure he gets more than his share of the abuse. Sure some people think he asks for it, but to me he stands proud of what he says and does on this forum. So should you. You put in your part and there are plenty of people here who appreciate what you do for the forum.
