Noob, you f***ing noob, well done noob, go away noob

Now the word noob is such a powerful word, it can bring out all sorts of emotions in people and it can change a placid individual into a foul mouthed psychotic nuisance.
I said in a previous post that I was going to write an article about the word noob, the word is used in Runescape and many other games and forums etc.
The history of noob, noob first came about as a word for a new player, it was never a derogatory word it was simply a new player. as time has progressed it has changed its meaning to effectively mean a player who is annoying.
The word for a new player has needed to change as the noob word has taken on a new meaning, the word newb was born this can never follow the same fate as noob because the very word has the "new" in it so no mater how it is used new will always mean new as in new player.
Noob can be used in so many situations, it is normally used when the user is not as good or as experienced as the other player, they may call someone a noob if the other player gets the coal rock, or they get the dragon first or they kill them in the wildy, so effectivly they are saying you are a noob because you are better than me.
Other situation it may be used is if someone is selling something for a lot more than the market value or begging or saying they can do things or get things that they obviously cant.
So we have worked out that someone calling you a noob is a compliment, unless you are in the second example above in which case you are a noob, why do so many people get upset about it.
I have seen people get called noob and responding with loads of obscenities many *'ed out but some avoiding the filter, in this situation I tend to agree with the caller, to get upset about a word with the possibility of getting your account banned you truly are a noob.
So what do you do? the answer is easy! just ignore them and walk away, does being called a noob really hurt you? if it does then indeed you are a noob, when I was a kid there was a saying "sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me".
What does the person gain out of calling you a noob, he or she vents a bit of frustration that they are not happy with the situation, let them do it, it does you no harm, just ignore them if they keep on and you cant ignore tele away and do something else for a while, put them on your ignore list if you need, I can ignore people without putting them on my list.
Noob means I am annoyed because you are better than me, or you are being stupid and doing or saying stupid and annoying things, if you are being called a noob for the latter then you are a noob, just accept it and carry on.
