(A little humorless: It's all fun and games and then someone gets banned.) Some of the allegations against Yon are that he has no sense of humor and that he will ban a man for asking questions. So, this might seem like a cartoon dialogue, but I couldn't help but laugh at the irony of the reality.
And to throw some water on the fun, I'll throw in some information. Though "blogger" or "journalist" are probably the better descriptions of what people would think of his work being called, I think he likes to call himself a "war correspondent." Evidently, he doesn't like to be labeled by others and he doesn't like to label himself. He doesn't like doing homework himself, nor does he like people that don't do their homework.
We all know what war means, so what is a correspondent?
n. 1. One who communicates by means of letters.
2. Someone employed by a newspaper or magazine to supply news or articles: a foreign correspondent.
3. A person or firm having regular business relations with another, esp. at a distance.
4. Something that corresponds; correlative. (The American Heritage Dictionary, 1985, Houghton Mifflin Co.)
Well, he isn't employed by a newspaper or magazine, he's not having business relations, and he's not something that corresponds, SO, I guess that means he is a person the communicates by letter to the war. But I could be wrong, because, he wants us to do his homework rather than to just answer a question.
UPDATE: Marcus has expressly stated his permission to leave his name unedited in the exchange to the right.
He has been banned, for this dialogue.
