For example, you made a comment that you got paid very well, and then implied (at least in my opinion) that he did not make much with your "if you could afford to visit shows" but that all went to hell when you later said you spent $3k of your own money which was 3 months earnings to you on an event. Well, $1k/month to many in this industry would be considered dismal earnings.
The thing is, there will always be haters, don't try and "win" simply ignore them. Many people on here are very experienced at board drama, arguments etc. and it is simply not worth your time to get into verbal battles as one day, they always come back to haunt you.
As for your earnings, although some would consider them dismal, you are relatively new to the industry so you most certainly, with continued hard work earn far more than you do now For serious business women in this industry "winning" is simply showing everyone how capable you are at doing your job, and proving to the haters they were wrong about you.
Best of luck.
