Is there a "good 'ol boys" mentality within the gifted community that (inadvertently?) exclude the average intelligent parent of a gifted child?
Could you describe what you find intimidating or exclusive about this forum? Jargon? Forays into politics? If it's jargon please feel free to ask people to define terms.
