Mockery? Hardly. It's simply astonishment and laughter from those of us that see Alastair proposing to change the laws of physics to suit his beliefs.
When his arguments fail - as, of course, they always do - he takes the
sulk road and attempts to end the conversation because he feels he's
being picked on,
as no-one believes him. It's happened every single time he's proposed
cold radiation. Oddly, people really do laugh then!

Well mockery means much the same as ridicule and you seem to advocate
that. I wouldn't mock/ridicule anybody for their beliefs, no matter how
outlandish I might find them. I have talked to Christians and discussed
what they believe and although I might strongly disagree with it I would
never just point and laugh. That's says far more about you than the
person you are mocking.

I don't however understand Alastairs's behaviour though, this thread
popped up again out of nowhere and he could have ignored it. People
(especially Asha) have attempted to debate with him reasonably, and most
certainly not abusively, yet he still flounces off.
