Here's the thing. It really doesn't matter how much your unutiliized 
idea has potential, in your eyes.

The fact is, your idea has nothing to do with "inventing googling", 
because how Google works has nothing to do with your idea. So when you 
claimed that you invented googling, you were lying, pure and simple.

People with character defects like that do not get treated seriously in 
life, as you are experiencing.
