[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Abstractly, I agree with you.  Concretely, the dynamics occur the way they do because sometimes there's no doubt (and some of those times the non-doubter is right; others not).

In the context of these boards (where anonymous posting is the norm but where it's also clear that many posters are "regulars"), I think it's fine to call someone on it when you think what s/he says is out of line.  If that poster has a reasonable and credible explanation, s/he offers it, you apologize, and everybody benefits from the added clarity.

Conversely, if you call a poster on misbehavior and s/he escalates rather than explains or desists, that also produces clarity/dispels doubt.  At which point, I think it's time to move on and trust the intelligence of other readers to decide whom to ignore.[/quote]

I guess I just think that parents of gifted kids will be called out for things that don't deserve it a lot of the time.  So what if a poster refers to their kids IQ twice in one thread.  It's an anonymous thread and it was a good way to establish that it was the same poster and both posts were relevant to the thread.  On the other hand posters who call others freaks or what have you are not called out and more likely cheered on.

If someone decides it's important to them to call out others misbehaviors I think they should do so equally or not at all.  If a poster is only calling out the parents of gifted kids than it's hard to see it in any way other than that person has an ax to grind in general.[/quote]
