Not saying that anybody's posts are worthless. Just the opposite. Your inferences are bizarre, to say the least. I'm curious as to whether you interpret data with as much abandon. If so, your research must make fascinating reading. [/quote]

Puhleeze.  Let's not pretend that calling someone's experience "anecdotal" isn't exactly the same as dismissing it.  (Even if that person's experience involves observing 100s of kids and she also cited a book.)  If you yourself knew anything about research, you'd understand what the word "anecdotal" conveys to researchers.

Also, let's take a look at this snippet from earlier in this thread:  "You are the person who most disrupts these conversations. You get upset when people suggest that there are different levels of giftedness and that the needs of of gifted kids differ depending on their level of giftedness. Then you insult them and falsely accuse them of saying their kids are smarter than yours."  Typically, however, you forgot to include the appropriate quotes from the threads you are referring to, which generally say something like, "If you don't understand my point, then your kids are merely gifted instead of profoundly gifted."

Which, while we're at it, is another frustrating thing about your debating style:  you change the terms of the debate when it suits your needs.  Like when your position doesn't apply to gifted and highly gifted kids, so you start aiming your arguments at profoundly gifted kids, without telling other posters.  Just last week, on another thread, several other posters chewed you out for doing this, after they figured it out, which took a while.

In sum, stop pretending you don't understand the "resentful" poster's point:  she resents YOUR DEBATING STYLE.  It's not only sleazy.  It's so transparently sleazy (most of us are pretty smart ourselves, you know) that everybody gets super frustrated.
