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.

It's a metaphor. Try harder. :dj:

That's nice, aren't you a charmer. Paul, I think he's on the way to joining you in your canoe.

I'd love to go canoeing with Paul!

You're basically arguing against statistics using a personal situation, which by the way is an anecdotal fallacy.

The fact that you think a few thousand upvotes mean anything on a site with the amount of traffic UD gets is pretty funny.

The fact that you're still trying to find ways to deny that "noob" has ever been used with mean intentions is even funnier.

I am pretty sure Jans (or anyone else for that matter) did not once say that "noob" has never been used with mean intentions.

It SHOULD mean everything to YOU, you were the one who asked for it.

You say you weren't aware ANYONE, (you weren't specific here with who, what, or what form, you said 'anyone' so these 20000 votes are 20000 times I've showed you evidence that yes, people DO believe the word noob is disparaging,) believed that, then you contradict yourself.

You're changing your argument, logical fallacy
