Question
Is it permitted for Ashkenazim to stand during Kaddish in a Sephardi minyan when they (the Sephardim) are sitting, or is this forbidden because of the prohibition of "Lo Titgodedu"?
Answer
There is no prohibition of "Lo Titgodedu" in this case, but there is an issue of derech eretz (proper conduct): one should not stand among those who are sitting, and one should not sit among those who are standing.
