(I hope this post is not against the user agreement. I did check the FAQs, and it seemed like it would be okay.)
I know I am not the only one here who has been following/involved in the drama over on mothering.com. I was deeply saddened at all of the negativity directed toward those of us who post on the gifted forum there, and I am very disappointed that they have now eliminated our ability to discuss it altogether.
I don't want to rehash any of the discussion that has gone on over there, but I am just struck because I think this is the first time I have really experienced hostility just because of the label "gifted." I wonder why this happens, and what we can do about it (besides shutting ourselves back into the closets from which we've reluctantly emerged).
Any thoughts?
