"stan" is a common word for excessive fanatic. It isn't always purely an insult. I also was specifically referring to people that were pretty rude in their behavior before. Feel free to assume I'm not talking about you, I'm not saying there is anything wrong with people who like nuclear.

Think of me as a solar stan if it makes things simpler

Ah the classic "sorry if YOU were offended".

I just needed a phrase to refer to the group of people that really, really liked nuclear power, and only wanted nuclear power to be the solution to fossil fuels, and were pretty rude to anyone who disagreed with them about this. "Nuclear Stan" seemed accurate to that, and I didn't mean it as an insult, just a description of their position on the issue.

So why does it bother you? I'm not trying to be rude.
