Mothie, did I ever give you any grief when you were a newbie? Did I ever give anyone grief when they were a newbie that didn't deserve it? I don't think I have, though once or twice I might've said something mean on a bad day. I am only mean to n00bs, a different thing from newbies entirely, even though the word is said the same way.
Also, the comments about 1337sp33k and South Korea were funny, and made sense if you consider how seriously they take their 'competitive' online gaming there. I didn't see anything racist about it.
I really don't have a problem with people who are unfamiliar with the English language and doing their best to post (I've never been mean to Finger of Death have I?) but it's people who speak it fluently, but decide to use net sp33k because it saves them .02 seconds between posts that get on my nerves.
