You are experiencing a very mild treatment from "the resident T", the 
person that everybody respects for his knowledge here, but everybody 
criticize for his severe attitude.

Perhaps he sees in you some of his bald mood when he was young, probably 
brilliant, and probably misguided by his self-confidence, fact is that 
he is treating you with some regards, unusually. In fact, he's not so 
harsh as usually he's. :-)

Maybe you resembles a bit to him in his youth, who knows?
Anyway, I would not simply discard the things that have been told to you.

It is hard for everybody of us to accept that some of our great efforts 
have been devolved to a cause not deserving such efforts, but nothing 
happens without a positive side effect. You studied, worked, learned a 
lot. Some people among the masters of Javascript don't like your work. 
OK. Stay at the window, just continue to work and study.
Prepare your comeback with something more mainstream but in between 
learn to accept critics and suggestions. Don't think simply you are 
right and they are tards that don't understand.
Go on, but keep feets on the ground.
