Grogan, if GFY was kindergarten, welcome to post graduate school. The same cutsy tricks that might have made others elsewhere go "ooh" and "ahh" simply don't work here. In fact they backfire if you're observant enough to have noticed.
So take off the "wannabe" T-shirt and stow the "everyone look at me" attitude. And while you're at it, stick the whiny "don't pick on me" speeches away too, cause all that's done is paint a nice red target between your eyes. Now, that's my advice IF you want to stay around here.
Your best advice might be self-preservation (leaving while the getting is good) if you're incapable of adaption. Take my advice, ignore it, I don't give a rats ass either way.

Dravyk speaks the truth!
...and you've gotten some other really great advice here as well. Swallow your pride and take it. We all come off as stupid obnoxious newbies in the beginning, that's expected. But there are those who learn from it, grow and become mature & contributing members of the community - now that's how you earn some respect.
