Re: Posts undeleted
Much as I love getting Kudos, I have to admit: It was Molly who felt that "Newbie" was being used as a derogative term. I've never considered it so, since I often try different games and so am an eternal newbie myself. My point was simply that the phrase the OP used did not seem like the one that would automatically pop to the mind of a non-mudder. Even though, as the_logos mentioned later, newbie is not used exclusively by mudders, the phrase seemed a bit too....well, appropriate, to be used by someone at the level of knowledge he claimed to be. Even though he may have pulled the term from the forum name, the rest of my post still stands. I still don't understand how he ended up here, posting that particular note.
As to the term "newbie", I think I've more often heard it used as an explanation of someone than an insult. In my experience, the conversation goes more often like this:
That person is such an idiot!
No, he's just a newbie.
Since I have no argument with the term, I redirect your kudos to Molly.  |
