Thanks man. That means a lot.

I try, though sometimes I do wonder why...

I too think that Trollheart is pretty great.

You shouldn't let that stop you. I don't.

I do not understand what you mean here at all, as you are being completely semantical.

Offensive is a synonym for derogatory and I'm being dead serious, it's literally in the thesaurus under derogatory. I'm looking at right now.

Regardless, I agree with you YD that noob is without a doubt disparaging. I would know, I played Call of Duty everyday for two years in high school.

At the very least, it has NO positive correlations when used to describe others.

What's the worst case scenario

Here's an example of the term "noob" being said with high respect, and a couple posts later being received with that understanding.
