There are old writers and old writers. Only some of them are holy; the rest are poseurs. It was easier than I thought it would be to get you to put on a very convincing demonstration of your membership in the latter category.

Sweetie, nobody's jealous of an old poseur, especially one whose "creativity" involves pretending they're holy while insanely lashing out at the folks who see through their poses, thus confirming that they're poseurs with virtually zero insight into other people and even less insight into themselves. They're a pathetic sight. If they weren't so obnoxious, one might be inclined to feel sorry for them; but as it is, the impulse is just to laugh at them for not realizing how obvious their pretense is.
