Then you're not reading what I wrote. Mistakes happen, but ignoring
advice is not an excuse for making mistakes. When you write off the
advice that you were given then it is presumptuous to demand that
someone bail you out.

They might have been less willing had you refused their earlier help.

Not making things worse requires listening to expert advise when it is
given.
