Collin, I'm sorry for what has transpired in a lot of ways, but please realize you have your own share of blame in all this. I understand the way you started to carry yourself was intentional and you are looking to be successful, but in doing so you went on a one way street towards alienating yourself from a lot of people here. If there was discussion about you on the forum I would try and keep up with it and any blatant attacks against you would have resulted in action. However people were for the most part keeping their comments either as complete jokes, or quite constructive and at times were truly feeling worried about you.
I wish you the best with your magic, but as far as fame and wealth you seem to have taken the ruthless whatever it takes to get to the top path, which always results in stepping on a few people, and a lot of times the people don't quite enjoy that.
