If you create a program, if you upload source code, you will receive praise
and criticism. A good programmer/artist will take both, understanding that criticism will help them improve. Someone who has no interest in improving (and never will) will dismiss criticism as "bait". If you want to be taken seriously, please stop driving away the people who are trying to help you. Sure, they could have worded it better, but there's been a fair bit of drama lately and everyone's testosterone is through the roof.
I also started in Visual Basic, so don't mind the "ewww visual basic" comments. It's a good starting point, but there are a few reason you should
eventually move to C#, which is more similar to other languages and will help you more down the line.
Being mature and taking criticism as ways to improve (when they are valid things and not "lol ur dumb" or something) is the key to winning internet fights. No one is perfect and everyone starts somewhere. If someone is blatant trolling, just report their post and ignore it. The mods here are pretty good with trying to keep things civil/ontopic, bless their pool souls.
Thank you for trying to help out, and I hope you strive to improve your code and get better
Don't let the way people talk get you down or get you angry. Programming is supposed to be fun, don't let it stress you out. Everyone seems to forget that they all wrote bad code/newbie code at some point, no one is born making stellar code.
