I understand, but the way I see it, these are forums for discussion, no one is on duty here,
Although some of us do post from work on occasion, during breaks. And we are what we are regardless of where we are, what we're doing, and what we're wearing. We do not undergo a personality change when the uniform comes off.
If you want to join a group, you learn to follow the rules and customs of that group, and those of the CF and this site are pretty much the same. That should not come as a surprise.

Fine. So is everybody else on this site and in the CF at some point. It's the first impression that one makes that often determines how one is judged and accepted (or not). Some people fiind instant acceptance in both places. Some, despite making a bad first impression, eventually work through that. Some never do.
You did not make a good first impression with your first post. That's unfortunate, but it's done. What counts now is what you do from this point on. You have been given blunt but good advice,whether you think so or like it or not, yet you have ignored it. Should you eventually score high enough on the CFAT to get further into the pilot selection process - and there is much more of that to come before you even start training - or opt for a different specialty you will simply fail at a later point at this rate. Interact with your instructors like this, and you won't last long in the CF. If you think that this site is harsh, uncompromising, merciless, brutal, or whatever (and it can be) then you're in for a rude awakening should you get into the CF.
Suck it up, listen to the advice that you've been given and will be given, and follow it and you may have a chance. It's up to you.
