"Whatever exists, whatever in creation exists without my knowledge exists without my consent. These anonymous creatures may seem little or nothing in the world. Yet the smallest crumb can devour us. Any smallest thing beneath yon rock out of men's knowing. Only nature can enslave man and only when the existence of each last entity is routed out and made to stand naked before him will he be properly suzerain of the earth."
Personally, I can't stand the word. If I ever use it, it's to illustrate a point, or to ask a question regarding it. I've probably used the word four or five times for as long as I have been here. My problem with the word is simply that it is a sign of laziness and lack of consideration for others. The very word is meant to mean a person who is new to a certain concept, such as talking over the internet or playing the game. Since people were to lazy to say "I am new to this forum, and don't know my way around," people decided to create a new term to save them time. I view the term the same way as typing incomplete words. There is no consideration for others. Rather than using time to even make sure people can read the word, they would prefer saving themselves as much time as possible by continuing on, and in some cases, not even looking at what they are writing.
I don't find it offensive. Just annoying.
