Those programs just blow smoke up kids asses and set them up to fail.

This, specifically, makes it clear you have an overwhelmingly and purely negative view of such programs. I'm not making things up, you have made it clear you think they are in no way beneficial. It's not a strange or large leap to take that as you implying they should be removed.

It really seems like you're taking any criticism of the program as criticism of you.

Again, what you're saying is not "any" criticism.

I'm not going to argue with a bunch of shit you imagine I said or with you moving the goalpost about specific ages of enrollment.

I'm not moving goalposts. I'm establishing that while I overwhelming agree with a level of gifted type programs, I don't think every program is good, nor every age of enrollment. Elaboration on my specific viewpoints is not moving a goalpost.
