I only tuned in to find out what "contial" was. I feel disappointed now to have invested 38 seconds reading.. Oh well.. back to Facebook to unfriend some miscreants.
martial artist
con artist
martial con artist.
contial artist
Personal it would have made more sense to me with
Martial Artist and Con Artist generating Martial Conartist
Or for the minimalists the Martial Cartist but that could get people confused about people fighting with carts.
With so many polysyllabic words not used already (* excpet for a few shown in this thread *) I never understood why we had to create new ones.
Oh I understand when we develop new technologies suchs a telecommunications and all the new words there as well as in the computer fields, but ...
Textbook example of how to run a newbie MT'er out of town.
Well if they get offended at being asked what a word they made up means.... it would not have ended well no matter how it went.
You shoud have seen my first post before I edited it... it was much less kind and much more along the lines of a good xue rant
Strangely enough, I got it. I thought the title was a typo and I read the OP to see if it was. After reading the post I understood he was doing a little play on words. I also thought it was a funny story.

You may have a point.
But there is nothing wrong with someone using their vocabulary and also making a play at it, when the original poster did the same.
If I am in the wrong, then by that logic so would the original poster.
I agree with Xue, that those that asked up front and got rude responses showed the original poster was trying to get something over on the crowd similar to a troll or trollish behaviour.
The usual response for such behaviour is make a funny and point and laugh the internet is one of the last places in the Modern Culture where one can get direct social feedback on what is acceptable and not.
But the original poster in my opinion did not cross a line to deserve being banned, but I seriously thought about negative rep and a signed message. I choose not to force the original poster to fight his way out of the negative rep and what others would think of someone marked red, but hoped that the original poster might learn from the situation.
Good for you because you got it. I did not and everyone else did not get it either who posted. They were asking for clarification and then commenting on their confusion as well.
But for the original poster to get upset and tell people it was their fault for asking and not understanding his made up word.
To me that was wrong and deserved the comments and questions that followed.

Woah, big misunderstanding there. I never became upset that misunderstandings arose, nor do I find it intolerable or a burden to elaborate on anything if it needs to be clarified. I think things are starting to become far too misunderstood. I also never blamed anyone. Please take the time to re-read my comments. If you still feel like giving me negative rep, please do so. Thank you for understanding.
Edit: I would also like to mention that I find the comments about the made up word to be satirical, whether or not that is their intention. Please do not mis-understand. They are not in any way annoying, or angering me. Thanks for understanding.
