The statement that MONKS have a 20% penalty is perfectly correct - especially given the context of correcting someone specifically referencing the class as having no penalty. Yes, Iksar Monks have more of one, but that's because of their racial penalty.
With regards to saying that an Iksar Monk is worse than other other class to have in a group... that's only if you're grouping purely based on level. Ideally, you want to group based on total character xp which ends up with everyone getting the same xp per kill even if there's a multiple level gap between characters.

Iksar Monks are worse than having a Pally XP wise. What don't you get? 44% penalty versus 40%. Swish said it in a tongue in check way very well. Iksar Monks on average have no clue how much they drag down a group at high levels to getting XP. Faster to have a Ranger pull in outdoor zones with Harmony, KC, CoM comes to mind, than a Iksar Monk and they have less of a XP penality.
Bottom line is a Iksar Monk is a drag on a group looking for min max XP high levels. YMMV. They end up being like a Hybrid like it or not.
