"Everyone is entitled to their own opinion , even if it is totally wrong." (Johny Depp)
You need to re-read your first post. Your first sentence asks people if they hate being called noobs. Then when people respond and say they couldnt care less if they are called noobs you try to insult them by labelling them "noob-callers"
I generally try to be polite to people whether I like them or not. Which is certainly not the norm on the internet.
So I dont call people noob. But if someone I am playing in a group with is a total idiot and I am discussing what a loser they are with other people in the group then yes the word noob will get used as people know what it means.
Eg in a game we formed a pickup group to do a mission. 45 minutes into a mission and we get to a point where everyone says wait - but one person runs ahead and gets the NPC we just rescued killed and we blow the mission.
Ok mistakes happen - so we talked about what should have been done at that point. Then we repeat the mission, at the same point, the same person does the same thing and blows the mission again. Believe me he was getting called worse things than noob.

I don't know why, but that actually did make me laugh out loud. Of course, now my husband thinks I'm daft. Well, more daft than he previously thought, anyway.
This thread isnt about banning lol its about banning "noob" lol is an expresion of finding somthing comicly funny so im not sure why anyone would ban the word lol anyway or find it obvenseif , and if anyone does find lol ovensive then i apoligise for using it

Yes, you have over fifty responses and nearly all of them have nothing to do with the subject you introduced. This must be your defining moment of glory. Well done, lad!
Noob isn't an insult it merely depends on the spirit/context it's used in, a bit like the word inexperienced or green or fat or dyslexic?
You just don't like the word, just as I hate the phrase abbreviation LOL.

Why should 'noob' be banned an 'lol' shouldn't? I consider 'lol' to be very offensive due to the fact that people who say it in general offend me, 'noob' is one of the MANY insults in the English language. People like insults, otherwise they wouldn't exist. Get over it.

You have the logic of a 9 year old (no offence 2 u 9 year olds out there) , your only saying lol ofens you to be difficult AND just because somthing excists dosnt mean everyone likes it does it? i mean global warming exicists because off people , but we dont like it lol

I think that's the point I was trying to make, just because the phrase exists doesn't mean everyone hates it right? Or that everyone that uses it should be banned because you believe it's only used to be offensive?
If everyone that used "noob" got banned then I'd push for people that use the phrase "you have the logic of a 9 year old" to be banned. The former can be used to mean the latter depending on context. However the latter can only be used to mean the former when the former is used as an insult.
If you don't understand that then you're a retard (meant as an insult) and should get some practice in baiting/flaming on forums then come back when you're not a noob (not meant as an insult).
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.

'Noob' is certainly an insult, but not one worthy of being BANNED over.
Over time you'd get used to it,especially if you hear it being used common place. Also,it would be easy to ignore people if you don't like them calling you a noob,and it's hardly a high-ranking insult.
The amount of racism being tolerated in some games needs to be addressed. Especially the free ones.
Personally, I can't be arsed to give a toss what a bunch of people I don't know and who don't know me, say or think about my. They have no impact on my life or the lives of anyone I care about. It's probably a good thing to keep that in perspective. If you do, I'm sure you'll lead a healthier and happier life while playing your online games.
I mean, really, when you think about it, who cares? Just try and remember... most people think the internet is for porn!
Peoples usually see in other flaws they themselves have!
Someone calling others Noob is usually a Noob himself, and it will never cure itself on the speaker usually. The only peoples I call Noobs myself, are Uberguild members! And you know how deserve and right this title is!
For example, me I can pinpoint all the evil in enforcing raiding/PvP in a game, maybe it is because I was among the early group-enforcement supporters, maybe I was a total jerk in saying that group-enforcement was right, now I see my sin...I apologize to every soloer and kinda become a soloer to some extand.

So lets get this right Monkey you don't like people using the noob phraseology, because you find it offensive and you say it is synonymous with a certain type of person. Well i would tend to agree, as i would also come to the conclussion that you must be very stupid for two reaons, one is that the way you type is very immature and the second being in that you fail to see the irony in the above statement. You fit in to my stereotype of what people that run around saying noob represent, funny that.

Speaking of dyslexia...True story I know someone that has told me they have dyslexia and they can't spell to save their lives. Then they turned right around and told me they were a speed reader. True story. Maybe it's not as uncommon as I seem to think. But dyslexia,can't spell shouldn't equal speed reader, in my book anyway.

Dyslexia is when you get the letter order muddled up.
Not knowing what letters are supposed to be in the word is your problem.
