A 3-1 post ratio says people really value what you post here. 3 likes for every 1 post! That's WAY higher than the average which is around 1:1 (if that). Hopefully you can hang out a bit and not feel like you have to fit any specific "look." With that post ratio, you HAVE established credibility. The badges are systematic, not awards. If you keep posting, they'd come automatically. You're a platinum contributor with speedway access. Legendary or epic just come automatically with post counts just like your platinum and speedway did. Fastlane is bought, but if you read the book(s) you can get that one if you ever wanted it. You don't really need ANY of those though because most people look at your posts and if they have value, you can see it in the post ratios. Yours have value. You can see it statistically.
Anyway, this sentiment is happening in more than just your post, so you are not alone. You've been here 4 years, so you have seen the ebb and flow of the forum. Fads come and go, and people come and go. However, the forum is still one of the highest traffic entrepreneur forums on the web. I've spent some time at some of the other ones, and I always drift back here. If you do the same, I hope you drift back... but always worthwhile to see if there is something that is more worth your time out there.
I was sad to see this. I don't doubt what you said, but I think you might find as I have it may be true everywhere. In the church, on this forum, in other forums, and I blew up my Facebook page for much the same thought. The good news though is you get to pick and choose who you want to listen to or not, and I recently embraced the forum IGNORE feature for the first time ever, and it makes things a whole lot better when you can just NOT spend time on the people you think don't merit it. Trust your gut.

Thank you for your kind words Dave. I'm often in the Tampa area, and I'll buy you a beer one day.
I respect many of you and this is one of the few places left online where I can just "hang out."
Reflecting on my post, I lashed out because I expect more from myself. I'm looking for a reason to justify why I haven't accomplished my big and audacious goals, yet. I have the potential to make a bigger impact on the world, and yet I feel an internal struggle holding me back.
I'll be back, but for now I will do some "soul searching."
Thank you.
