Truly, there can be no happier way of whiling away a cold winters morn than taking part in the ever present sport of Newbie Baiting. Those of you have not indulged in this pass-time are truly missing out, as it is arguably the best thing to do on the internet.
This may surprise you at first, and you may not beleive it (as I did, at first), but as you look at the facts, it all becomes clear. Newbie baiting can be found just about anywhere, not only on forums and chat-rooms, but also in games. Think about this. In the middle of a game, players will stop playing to concentrate on newbie baiting. If newbie baiting can stop people from playing their games, then it must be good! And when you see the amount of people who take part, you begin to realise that it MUST be good, because surely that many people can't be wrong, can they. Can They?
Anyway, back to the point: I beleive that newbie baiting should be elevated in status, to that of The Sport of Kings (Due to the uncanny likeness to acting like a king, i.e. looking down on/poking/laughing at those in a lower 'class' than yourself), and that it should become an officially recognized computer sport, with championships and ladders for the greatest newbie baiters.
So, what does everyone think?
