As someone who's language is, to date, persecuted against by English Speakers, I will rightfully speak what ever language I so wish. If I want to speak in Irish, or Scottish Gaelic, I will.

We can't understand it, so it would be nice if you and Cill could stick to English while posting here. This isn't persecution, it's a polite request.

How?

Are you talking about the science behind it? Because that's the mindfuck.

Oh yeah, i see how that works. I guess it is kinda mindfucky.

Minus the fact that nuclear reactors weaken the entire structural integrity through side-reactions that gradually 'chip off' the reactor

I did not know that until now.

Cill isn't even the one I replied to!? And I didn't accuse any of you for persecution. I said i'd talk in what langauge I want.

Yes, but Cill was also speaking in Irish.

And he logged off immediately after posting, because he's driving to my house.

Cill often makes random posts in Irish, just as he did earlier. And you mentioned in your post that you have been 'persecuted' in the past, so I was simply pointing out that my request was not, in any way, persecution.

So, I'm guessing that you live in the Killarney area since that's where he said he got his nation name and that your little discussion was about that?

And I often make posts in Scottish Gaelic?
When the nation Tarnavo was active. he often made posts in Italian.
When Quejio was around, she posted in Spanish.
I've seen numerous conversations posted here in other languages, but no one tells them not to? So why is it that when someone posts in irish, or Scottish Gaelic, all of sudden it becomes a big ass no no? That comes off pretty badly, just saying.

Also there's the fact that this is an English Language forum and everyone is expected to post in English.

I haven't got a fucking clue who those aforementioned people are, so don't you even dare accuse me of persecution. Second of all, Cill has been asked numerous times by other players to stop randomly posting in different languages as it's confusing and could get him into trouble.

Not maintain the reaction. Slow the reaction. They serve as moderation to keep the reactor operating at a safe level. If anything goes wrong they scram and all control rods go in slowing the reaction almost to a stop. Not all reactor designs use them though, other designs use different methods for moderation. Pretty much all reactors built and used for power utilize them though.

Damnit, now we've got people posting in Hawaiian. Which, unlike Irish, can't be translated in Google Translate to give me at least a vague, poorly put together idea of what you're saying.
