Thanks Jansz. Appreciated. However I'm not looking for people to join my fan club (special deal this week only! Half price!) but just wanted to defend my reputation, which was being trashed by YorkeDaddy, not something I'll allow anyone to do. If it had been a genuine misunderstanding then fine, but I pointed out several times the fact that I was not advocating either not welcoming noobs (yeah I'll keep using it; I see nothing wrong with it) or that they should not post in threads, but he completely ignored that and just continued to paint me as he wanted me to appear.
I tried to reason with him, I couldn't (I got called irrational????) and that's why he's now on Ignore, and will remain there. To return to the actual subject, if anyone is interested, I wonder if a "welcome new members who we will certainly not call noobs" thread is any sort of an idea? Somewhere that new members can post and ask questions, get feedback, learn the ropes and so on? No? Okay, I'll be over here in the dark corner nursing my pint and muttering about the good old days...

I always thought noobs were new boobs, like a pre teen who just hit puberty or a dude who just gained a bunch of weight.
Not to be confused with man boobs, which are a more established male set of jugs. Why do men have nipples, anyways?

Bro I already tried this, they're all resistant to the concept of context. They think that since they all use "noob" in a non-derogatory way here then that must mean it's not derogatory anywhere. This place is basically a middle school.

If this is a middle school, you are the guy that disrupts class because he can't be bothered with learning.

If anyone's being resistant to learning it's the people that are still trying to insist than noob can never be a derogatory term in any context.
