Well meaning people who have spent many years gaining experience and wisdom have offered you their best advice in the hope of being your friends and helping you to do well, and you have rudely told them to shove it.

    So, you are correct. You are a grown; do as you wish. But to spit in the eye of those who would attempt to offer friendly advice is out of line, and it does not speak well of your maturity.

    Does this amount to a cogent argument?
