I give in

Your arrogance will take you anywhere. Be truthful, you don't want any criticism, constructive or otherwise - you only want to hear how fantastic you are.
Well done on what you've achieved so far, and I hope for your sake that you prove us all wrong, although I'm still not quite certain that anyone on here has actually said that you WILL fail. We've mostly said that you have a long way to go, and the way you behave on here, and frankly quite often the quality of your english hasn't filled us with massive optimism.
And I'm really sorry, but I know lots of lads your age getting small bits published here and there and they're not claiming to be journos. But I'm sure you'll just dismiss my thoughts as they don't concur with your own.
If you were a little more modest, we'd probably be a little nicer to you...
