We may not know anything about you, but the way you present yourself to the world isn`t helping anyone to treat you seriously. If you do get into the profession (good luck by the way) you will find to be accepted, you are going to have to put up quite cheerfully with ,what on the face of it, is some quite savage "banter". The best amongst us are quite adept at taking the p*ss out of ourselves.....when you start doing that, we may start to think better of you.
