Why does this portray _ALL_ Bangalore men in bad light ? Who are these
"Bangalore men". My remarks are not snide but you might want to go easy on
the generalizations. My earlier remarks stand - it is better to educate and
rather than name and shame. Also svaksha's mail did not mention what she
found objectionable. I still think we can have a more mature and
constructive discussion on this.

I am not defending Anand here (I hardly know him well) but it might be
better to talk to him personally rather than name and shame IMHO. As far as
trolling is concerned, it is a matter of perspective (See the reference at
the end of my last mail - I think the mail qualifies as trolling especially
due to the lack of information and use of words like #EpicFail). I can also
say that Anand was also trolling by posting the code.
