I could not agree more.
Unfortunately, I think these feelings are with the majority. Also, however unfortunate, it is going to be up to that majority to save things.

Let's hope everyone can rise to the occasion.

The so called "Crackdown" would be acceptable at this moment. WAB has been degraded to lowest levels. At least a Crackdown would ensure it not sinking in any further.

Trying to blame the trolls or jr members of flaming and spoiling the atmosphere here is totally wrong.We had dealt it with very efficiently a couple of months back.

But then at those times our seniors acted and behaved like seniors.Now i see them also losing their temper and joining the band wagon.

There is nothing more annoying to your enemy than your forgiveness !!

Ok so lets stop going in the wrong path and get back to right path.

It's a compulsion. I'm in therapy at this very moment and I'll thank you not to interupt my $500/hour session. I am not a millionaire.

Honestly I like most everyone I know. I like most everyone here, even ones who would not like me. These two people in particular are good people because they have gone out of their way to help me, and to be there when I needed them. Their Indian origin is likely coincidental.

without the slightest bias.....most of the india-american doctors r quite competent in their field of work too......the rigorous testing system only allows the competent ones to enter.

sorry for being off-topic.
