    More evidence you need a dictionary and a course in basic grammar and comprehension.

    Asking questions is not attempting mind reading.
    The topic is highly complex. So please stop posturing and affecting some detailed understanding.

      I have never seen such a depth of a lack of self-awareness as expressed by that statement.

          Are you mind reading again? You suck at it.

            Ever more evidence that you need a dictionary.

            Subtext is a term used for hidden or less obvious meaning. An example would be the nocturnal and supernatural events in Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita that represent the horrors of Stalin's terror. Perhaps more well known is Miller's The Crucible where McCarthyism is the subtext for a play about the historic seventeenth century Salem witch trials.

              It really isn't a bright idea to mock anybody, especially of you are pretending to be an evangelical Christian.......true?

              Now you want to suggest to us that you have intimate knowledge of the nuclear power processes?

              You've displayed some surprising thickery of late, you know. Continuously asking why China still builds coal power plants when you believe that green energy is not yet competent is either thick or trolling, so which?

                You won't succeed in teaching Sparko anything. He already thinks he knows it all!

                          Why? He didn't admonish someone for mocking, then in the VERY NEXT POST, mock the exact person he admonished for mocking.

                            Yet as a good Christian Sparko repeatedly engages in mockery and what might be deemed trolling.

                            Eider merely commented on Sparko's abilities and he is not the first to do that.

                                I disagree that eider's comment on Sparko's abilities was mockery. Sparko has rather brought it upon himself by strutting and posturing on his alleged knowledge of nuclear reactors and the nuclear industry.

                                There is a word for that as well.
