At the time, I may have been Director of Community Life for The TAG Project, which I believe is the the oldest set of email lists for the gifted community on the internet and they were trying to make the transition to a formal charity and never completed the process.

So the audience would have been parents of gifted kids in need of support for how to effectively raise their kids and my opinion was somewhat respected for a fairly brief period of time in gifted circles online.

It wasn't an argument. It was an attempt to share my thoughts with people who liked my thoughts on certain subjects well enough that it got me started blogging because there was demand for my point of view on some subjects.

Now there's no more redwood oppression,

For they passed a noble law;

And the trees are all kept equal

By hatchet, axe, and saw.

They also get thousands of years old, which rich people might achieve in the future.
