Talent often doesn't have anything to do with being successful but then again, it usually does. I've also found that many people over-rate their own talent and the talent (or lack of talent) of others. So it's all objective. And yes, it's a very, very difficult business to crack but you can't crack it if you leave. I understand that you had personal reasons for leaving. If you had stayed, there was still no guarantee that you would have found success.
I don't take your comments towards me as hateful and I'd be a pretty thin-skinned person if I were to take them to heart. I've been through far too much in my time in Los Angeles to take the opinions of an anonymous poster on a football forum seriously.
No hard feelings, whatsoever. Though I'll defer the fart-sucking to someone else.
