All you can do is continue to post. If your post is good/logical/non-whiney, people may not agree with it, but they'll respect it. Continue doing that and you'll stopped being called such very hurtful names.

Disagreeing with one of the older members might make you appear like fitting into a-d, especially since the majority of them kinda know what they're doing. If you really disagree, stick to your guns, DON'T pull out a shallow, silly attack and be willing to admit you might be wrong. Many of them are.

P.S. Note my really tiny number of posts. I'm in the same boat as you, bud.
^^^very well said and posted. i will add only one other point. do not play with fonts, sizes, colors et al. just does not help to make you make a point or to look serious.
