This apparently needs restating:
Writing a book = some people will like it and some will not, and some of those people will be on b3ta and others will not; in any event you will enjoy a moderate degree of success.

Endlessly harping on about being victimised by the same community whose webspace you unrepentently used as free advertising = everyone will mock your book, whether they've read it or not, and those who have not read it will imagine it as an extension of you, filled with whining.

That is beautifully put.
You forgot to tell him to kill himself though.
