If n00b or newbie is so offencive, then how come it's in your title when you first join this forum?

Why do people take offence from being called a noob? The meaning of the word - Someone who is new to a game and tries to act experienced. I feel that if someone is acting like that then yes that is what they are. Maybe the truth hurts for some people. Btw before people have a go at me I don't go around calling people noobs. I'm only stating the facts.

Actually n00b doesn't mean pretending to have experience, n00b stands for basically new to something and lacking experience. A n00b pretending they know something basically is a stupid n00b.

What's wrong calling people n00bs? I used to say it all the time on Habbo to people acting so n00bish I can't stand it, especially the stupid n00bs (I normally help the people who have not got a clue what they are doing) but a n00b pretending they know everything gets alot of lip off me.

N00b has more or less turned into a more polite way of telling someone off or calling them an idiot without being so blunt.
