In the “about me” section I used to mention that I had sold accessories I made to Urban Outfitters (clutches - thousands of them), been in juried art shows, and have had my artwork in touring shows and exhibitions - but I took it out because it seemed unnecessary. By getting “impatient” over rude comments sent to by inbox by one person in particular, I guess I meant the comments seemed petty and mean, considering none of us really know what others are doing in their “real lives”.
