Why do so many stupid people here insist on calling other posters "kid" when they disagree with them? Do people think that calling someone "kid" even though they have no idea what their actual age somehow gives them seniority? This is a really stupid bullying tactic that I have laid witness to in System Wars for years, and I wish it would stop. Heck, if I were a moderator, I would start moderating people for it under the "insults to other users" TOS. Calling people "kid" does not make you right, it only proves that you are more likely to be a bratty little 14 year old who is afraid of getting pwned by an adult in an arguement.

It's like calling someone a noob, it's not gonna be censored.

I like it, not that I do it. But I love watching people fall for such a shallow tactic. They could ignore it (like this thread didn't need to be made), but nope they let the other user push their buttons.
JJ does it best though, been doing it the longest here to boot.
It works because most of the people on System Wars are kids. I remember a SW poll a long time back and IIRC it was around 60% of posters were under the age of 18. So if you call someone a kid, most likely they are, and they will feel insecure about it and give in to you. If people try to pull that **** on me, I just say "Yeah. I'm a kid. I'm 15 years old. Isn't it awesome that I'm so young and I'm still owning you?"
I don't know where you guys are from but in my world being called a kid is just reference towards someone in a way that means that they should no better. I get called kid all the time when I play basketball and I'm 21 years old. Older guys at the courts will tell people "Kid" get that weak stuff out of here. Calling someone a kid doesn't always mean that you are saying they lack numbers in age.
Like in your case Timstuff. You claim the 360 controller is too heavy. I could say "Hey kid get to the weight room." Even if you were older then me thats still the context to what it is used. Michael Vick is in his mid 20's right now and people still refer to him as "Kid" Saying how that "Kid" is always messing up and always in trouble. But is a 27 year old really a kid? No. Its just a form of expression but I understand what you're saying. The way Kid is used on System Wars is a trivial game of I'm older then you so be quiet stuff.

Calling someone kid is of course a demeaning thing if the person is above the age of i dunno 12. But when a poster whos a lvl 1 (no offense to you lvl 1's out there) writes in all caps and in their opening statement says "DA PS3 IS GUNNA WINZ BECAUSE I LIKE THE GRAPHIX AND WARHAWK AND HEAVENLY SWORD, AND METAL GEAR SOLID 4 AND AND AND I CANT REMEMBER THER REST TEH LINE-UP IS TAT AMAZING" or another opening statement "I LIKE THE WII AND EVERYONE ELSE WHO DOESNT IS WRONG I HAVE NO PROOF BUT MY FRINEDS SAY IM RIGHT" or "I LIKE THE 360 CAUSE IM AN ATTENTION WHORE" either way, its really used to downplay the topic, its like another way of saying "nothing to see here move along"
