Moderator now should look into whether the Sarcasm in a dark group (all such e-mail groups) where we have no chance of meeting each other face to face is a permitted medium of communication particularly when we have no seniority criteria (basis of seniority) operating in the group. I know only one person in this group personally. Everybody is unknown to me.
I think members here are making statements based on their information and analysis. Disagreement in views is not the same thing as "seniors spewing unnecessary venom towards others, other faiths and other customs" and that is being answered in direct language. >From my side discussion is over on seniority issue and I request the Moderator to define the limits.
