I have not once since the new hotness, not once directly called anyone here a newbie, newb, noob, or n00b. In that sence of the term, i am not using it in a derogatory manner. In fact, I have called someone here a noob, but no one could take it as an isult but myself, and I usually don't care about the names I call myself, except the time I called myself a neener-head. Oh, I'll get me for that.
You see, there is swearing, and then there is swearing. I can say ass all I want around here. It's not blammed. Ass ass ass. See? But if I call someone an ass, I'm stepping over that broad line. Just as I can say I'm a noob at modding, but I can't call someone a noob.
There are also many other ways to offend people withough swearing. If you purposefully offend someone, isn't that worse than saying noob? I think some of the people in power around here need to look at what is offensive and what is not. I find all the stupid crap around here offensive, but you don't see me -blam!-ing about every Neo vs MC thread, or all the lazer wars that the inexperienced forum posters make. Sure, I'll occasionally voice off in public as I am now, but for the most part, I just try to play nice and ignore the offensive topics alltogether. That's what I do when I'm offended, ignore it.
