        To quote you from earlier:

        The reactor didn’t melt down.

        I am merely asking that you admit you were incorrect in that statement and retract it.

        This is like talking to a politician, you are incapable of admitting wrongdoing, it’s very difficult to get you to talk honestly about these things.

        To further quote someone I spoke to earlier “You use such weird language when you write. Have you ever thought about writing like an adult?”

          It was a partial meltdown. It wasn’t a full meltdown. It was an event like Chernobyl.

            So it was a meltdown then, regardless of the qualifiers you are putting in there to save face? Thank you.

            In future, please try to leave your ego at the door when talking about statements of fact.

            Thanks for at least somewhat reluctantly admitting that you were wrong, even if it took far too long and you couldn’t do it without trying to save face by arguing unimportant details.

            This is progress! Well done.

              Most people when they talk about meltdowns are talking about nuclear disasters and full meltdowns. They’re not taking about a partial meltdown.

              You seem to struggle with words and the meanings of them. You’re so focused on being “right” that you just look foolish.

              Do you disagree that three mile island is a success of our nuclear program? Or you just going to circle jerk in the corner for no apparent reason ?

                I’m talking about the word meltdown, and how it refers to a meltdown.

                That is how language works.

                I’m sorry you are having trouble with it, but please stop with the ad hominems, they are childish and should be beneath you. You should really know better at your age.

                  The government document list it as a partial meltdown. That’s the official term being used.

                  I didn’t use an ad hominem. You seem to struggle with words. I used the term the government used and try to use it as an attack towards me. You now can’t stay on topic and can’t focus on the touch.

                  Do you disagree that three Mile was a success?

                    Yes, the government DOES list it as a meltdown, thank you. Honestly it can be so difficult to get through to you sometimes.

                    Speaking of words and grasping their meaning, when you childishly accused me of ‘circlejerking in the corner’ just a moment ago, in an obvious and unnecessary attack on my character, aka an ad hominem, you actually used that phrase incorrectly as well!

                    Allow me to explain - a circle jerk is when a minimum of two men jerk one another off, creating a “circle” of “Jerking”.

                    When you lost your temper and began throwing meaningless insults in a manner very inappropriate for this forum, the term you would use more correctly would have simply been “Jerking it”, as you were accusing me of masturbating ON MY OWN in the corner.

                    Please work on both your manners and your grasp of the English language if you are going to continue to insist on asking for my attention.
