[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not 9:51 and she devoted way more effort than I would have to explaining the meta-conversational issues.  That said, I appreciate her efforts and understand why she bothered.  [u]Basically, every discussion involving gifted issues gets derailed by what appears to be the same (or same couple) of posters.[/u]  For awhile, it looked like this one might be different.   But no.

[u]So I read 9:51's approach as an attempt to explain to this poster/these posters what's producing the dysfunctional dynamic in the hope that future discussions on these issues could be more productive.  [/u]

I can see why, if you haven't seen this pattern repeated a number of times, the responses might seem crazily disproportionate to the provocations.  So, FWIW, there's a broader context.[/quote]
I am 9:51.  This PP perfectly describes my reasons for posting the list.  I think those 1-2 posters can contribute good value to discussions about giftedness.  They clearly have studied the issue, and like I said, I might even agree with them on some points.  But I've seen on this thread and a couple others that they sometimes inadvertently undermine their own advocacy with a style that comes across as dogmatic and off-putting.  I'm sure that's not what they intend, but it nevertheless seems to happen repeatedly.  I do hope there is a way to improve the dialogue.[/quote]
