We have distinct words to define those distinct groups. There are certainly communities that are "only" offensive, not terrorist nor criminal, but should be lumped in with those groups nevertheless?

Perhaps the author of the post you responded to was referring to this sort of absurdity.

No, that's just another way of a company saying to you your face doesn't fit with this promotion/role.

And why that is depends on who is hiring you. Most of my experience in tech has been working for non-technical managers who think a Senior position is one of a liaison officer between management and computing in general.

Most of the time I read comments about the ancient wizardry and the important soft skills you need to have as a Senior just makes me wonder how much crap these people have been fed by their superiors.
