Tittle says it all.
If there was a group of people that referred to you (or us) as a Durper(s), would you find that at all insulting? Even slightly?
ETA: I meant Durper not Derper.

I just consider the source.
I think I’d have more problem being referred to as a “Derper” (since at least in the circles I hang out in, “Derp!” is kind of insulting in a ‘you’re an idiot’ kind of way, albeit usually in fun). Wouldn’t really mind either way, though.
I’ve never heard of a “durper,” unless that’s an alternative spelling.
My first thought when I saw that was “ERMAGERD! STRERT DERPERS!”
The fact that anyone outside this board is talking about us at all is surprising. I always assumed this place was self-referential.
I can’t seem to muster up any feelings about it at all. As far as I know, no one has ever referred to me as a durper. Where does that word come from?
Mostly the sna®ckpit.
My jimmies remain unrustled.
Me too. That said, it does seem to me to be a point of condescension.
Being called a Derper or Durper? Meh. Doesn’t raise a blip on my giveashit meter.
It does, however, bring to mind the comment: “I know you are but what am I?”
Agreed.
Across the vastness of time and space, the jimmies remain unrustled…
Hang on… you’re saying that someone, somewhere, doesn’t hold me in the highest esteem? That maybe there’s even more than one? Perhaps there are several people who make fun of the things I write or the way I write them?
Give me a minute to process this.
Okay, yeah, I’m fine with that.
Lowers my opinion of the speaker, as silly “insulting” names never really have been high on my personal list of “signifiers of a subtle and discriminating mind”, and harms me not a bit.
The existence of the “snackpit” boggles my mind, though. Like, really? That’s what you do for fun? But I guess I’ve never really appreciated many fine internet pastimes, like trolling and 4chan.

Snark: I know when my Durper Ten-struates [Archive] - The Giraffe Boards
Link soon to be removed by mod, of course. Yeah, this board has some serious flaws and backwards members.
If they want to ban me over there, I go by the name “anonymous”.
Meh.
I’ve been insulted directly, pointedly, and with malice aforethought by persons who actually understand what chafes my nuggets. “Durper” is inconsequential.
No. Who cares.
I have no idea what that is supposed to mean.
I am pleased. Although I prefer the “Derper” spelling as it’s derpier.
This is old news; the Raffe is on snark thread #25.
If anybody, and I mean anybody called me that I would rain down an unholy level of internet terror the likes of which they have never seen and probably couldn’t imagine.
I would probably put on my caps-lock and go Chuck Norris internet-style on their asses.
They don’t ban anybody there (they need the traffic).
Never bothered me.
