When a word has been used against one as an attack, one standard response is to embrace the word and try to redefine it as humor. You can hear it in rap music, for instance, or if you hang out with any group that is the subject of slurs. That's how they try to water down the power of a slur. So calling your friends noob and being called noob by a friend is totally different from calling a stranger noob.

Now I'm curious, om me if it's too harsh for forums. I'm not easily offended so I won't care about it.

That is the core of the problem, "easily offended," has no one heard of "sticks n' stones..." ?

The worst part about this thread is comparing noob to certain other words for so many different reasons. Lets try to steer away from that, mmkay?

I disagree and agree. I believe the reason we joke with each other and call each other noob is the exact same reason why you hear certain words in hip hop. There's even a name for it in linguistics: amelioration. But I do agree with the 'bad rhetoric' line because it's sensationalistic to make the direct comparison. yeah.
