[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Uh, the subject of the thread is FSIQ, so, unlike your snarky comment, my posts above are relevant to the thread. [b]If you think I'm being boastful, too bad. It's an anonymous forum for crying out loud.[/b] The point is that, as I noted in response to OP, there are varying levels of giftedness (see Deborah Ruf's work, for example), and some are more easily accomodated than others. [/quote]

...so I can hide my haughtiness behind the comfortable veil of anonynmity[/quote]

Again, the notion of relevance has escaped you.  You're probably one of those deluded false egalitarians who say things like, "all children even out by the third grade" or cling to [i]The Hurried Child[/i] as dogma, so why are you even reading page 20 of a thread about FSIQ?  Just do us all a favor and go away.  Seriously.[/quote]

So "relevance" justifies posting your kid's IQ score twice on the same page?  (And I haven't bothered to go back over the thread, although I recall other references to the Feynman school.)

I'm not any of the previous posters.  But I'm concerned this sort of behavior, by parents of highly or profoundly gifted kids, derails discussions about giftedness every bit as much as the trolls do.  Same for the person who posts that homeschooling is the only solution, and the person (same person? different person?) who posts that if we don't understand their POV, our kids must be "merely" gifted.

There are a number of us who are genuinely interested in the subject because we have our own HG kids.  I've noticed several besides myself who are annoyed/embarrassed/bored by the posts from both (a) certain parents of gifted kids, and (b) the crazy.  Yes, you are derailing the conversation, because people think they need to stop and point out your bad behavior.  The "thorns" comment (not me) is an example.  And yes, there is one actual crazy person who posts on gifted threads, but that's different from "troll" trolls.  It is not "trollish" to ask you to stop, rein in your boasts about your kid's IQ, and try to have a two-way conversation with different POVs.

Thank you.[/quote]
