Is it possible that posters may get themselves banned by not abiding by the board rules? Unless, of course, there are rules made up on-the-fly and/or selective enforcement of the documented rules and policies. Some may say that would be poor role-modeling on the part of a gifted support organization, as gifted advocacy is largely based upon holding schools and other institutions accountable to abiding by their documented rules and policies.

One of the "common cognitive errors" described in the article was blaming others. smile This is different than expecting an organization to follow its documented policies.
