Want to know why there aren't more like me (not that i consider myself by any means the end all model of success as I'm not) because people like you chastise success and ridicule those that have done well for themselves and are proud of it. Since I have been "there" before, I get it, which is even more repulsive to you because I am not supposed to beat the odds, rather succumb to them. Now who is being arrogant and dare I say condescending.

On the contrary (at least as far as my thanks to the post you reference is concerned). I salute your success, and I am happy for you.
The flaw in your argument is that you minimize your own strength. People who are successful (such as you) are some combination of smarter, harder working, and luckier than others. The point is to have just a bit of empathy for those without your brains and/or luck.
