And nothing will do me any favors, regardless of what I do. I make a character that trained well over two decades in anything that has a blade, and suddenly I can't beat a 15-year-old with a bladed stick. What I say doesn't do crap. I just keep saying because eventually, someone will listen to me about SOMETHING. Almost everything I say goes into the 'denied,' 'ignored,' or 'absolutely rejected' categories. I'm just stubborn enough to hope that maybe someday, I'll say something that'll please somebody.

I don't feel that this is relevant in any way. You made a bad suggestion that did not fit the setting or what the other players were doing, and it was treated as what it was. This is not tied into a roleplay with other players and GMed by someone else. Do not make a mass of bad suggestions, concentrate on making a few of your suggestions good. You will not get far with me, or many others, by living by the phrase ,,A broken clock is right twice a day’’. I think you'll find it will help your case immeasurably if you change this attitude.
