    I just want you all to know that the word "noob" is not an insult. It's to be used only in jest, and should not be taken seriously if not used so. No one should be offended by the aforementioned word.

    Thank you, that is all.

    Thank you for making this topic. I thought everyone knew.

    Also noob was originally a spin off of the word "newbie" which just meant beginner/amateur. So it was never an insult in its history.

    extensive use of the word is an insult meant to hurt people, If anyone is offended you are required to stop or face a warn.

    Her constant rolling of the eyes is offensive as well. For some reason, however, you only choose to confront Glory.

    Just to clear things up…

    I’m NOT some ignorant fool who would take the word “noob” offensively
    I would like to draw your attention to this quote here…

    Glory wrote:Calling someone froub, noob, and son ALL the time isn't very respectful...sure every once in a while it could be funny...but you do it all the time.

    Sources:: http://www.newhorizings.com/the-new-horizings-times-f11/election-week-t4108.htm

    now according to Glory, the word “noob” indicates a lack of respect (from the post above)

    An Example
    Person A tells Person B that he decided that the word “Santa” is equivalent to f***ing b******
    Person A then calls Person B a “Santa”
    now, usually the word “Santa” is not offensive (ignoring the fact that Santa is fat and a loony)
    but because of what Person A decided earlier on.. Person B most definitely got offended

    now, Glory decided that the word “noob” indicates a lack of respect(from the post above)… he called me a “noob” several times… so he’s basically telling me he doesn’t respect me..

    whether he meant it or not is not the issue.. it’s still offensive
    and that’s why I would take the word “noob” from anyone else.. but NOT Glory

    he called me a “noob” in some topic.. I ignored it
    twice in some other topic… I asked him to stop twice, and he did (in that topic)
    but then he called me a “noob” in some other topic, and I made my topic….i’m not stupid, I wouldn’t make the topic if Glory stopped

    As for the rolling eyes thing..
    1) Glory never told me that he considers it an insult
    2) The same principal applies… if Glory finds rolling my eyes at him an insult, so would I, but ONLY from Glory

    Example Continued
    Person B starts having a go at Person A (for the reason mentioned in the previous Example)
    Person C comes along (he doesn’t know why the word “Santa” is offensive) and decides that Person B has no right to have a go at Person A and adds fuel to the fire

    Fang, you are Person C… you only know half the story, yet u draw up your conclusion and not only that; but also adding fuel to the fire in the process.. slanty

    That is all
    bye Black Hat

    Lovely. Very Happy I was so hoping that you would bring this up. Thank you.

    There is a massive difference between when I used it and you used it.

    When I used it: I used it 3 times and stopped when you told me to. I used it twice after the many months of rolling your eyes at me. I used it once more for calling me racist when Sayf and I were fooling around and you called what I was doing as racist...this leads to two things

    1.Calling a non-Black person "nig" isn't racist.
    2. Sayf said it too (nakkah) but you didn't tell him anything.

    Now...

    When you used it:

    You were using it repeatedly with a use and without a use, just for the heck of saying it. You even rolled your eyes in some of the posts where you called me noob. I tried to tell you indirectly that I'm getting annoyed but you continued to do it nonstop. That's when it becomes disrespectful...passing the line.

    And to finish my argument, quote me all the times I called you "noob" and ill do so to then let the forum decide Wink

    Also:

    1. Your example fails. Athe word noob isn't an insult like your example at all.
    2.It was implied in my post back then that it becomes disrespectful when it is done a lot (15+)...don't twist my words so it suits you.
    3. I don't roll my eyes at you because I indeed find that disrespectful. I only do for sarcasm or when really pissed of. You do it all the time.
    3. You didn't know I find you rolling your eyes as disrespectful? LOL....go do it to someone ...anyone....a lot and see what they think of you.

    Some things just don't need to be said.

    4.The reason why I wrote it a third time is that I saw your "stop" after posting it. Look at when the posts were posted Wink

    >> the "N" word itself is offensive to ANYONE!
    >> i didn't call u a racist when u said "Nig".. only when u said the actual word
    >> no, my example is perfectly fine.. u said "noob" = lack of respect and that was what u were implying when u said the word to me (whether u meant it or not)
    >> look yeah, just be frank with me... if u find rolling my eyes at u offensive just tell me...
    >> wtf are u blabbing on about for #4.. that actually makes no sense what so ever

    its close enough to the actual word.. closer than what u n sayf said before Wink

    how "brutal" the words are has nothing to do with nought... the same principal applies

    it still doesn't make sense "The reason why I wrote it a third time is that I saw your "stop" after posting it"

    what i'm getting from that is u wrote it coz i said stop

    -I live on Earth. It's not offensive when you say it to a non-Black. It becomes stupid.

    -YOU were the one that ASKED ME what it means.

    -Sorry, we assume that when someone joins they have common sense. This has nothing to do with being frank.

    -Read again then: I posted that third noob comment before I read your post telling me to stop. Look at the times. You told me to stop at 4:01, but I was already reading the other topic and posted it in 4:03.
