when considering the context from above, what do you think they were implying?

Nothing. Looking for subtext is an error on your part. The words they wrote were what they meant.

i wasn't asking for subtext, i was asking so it would be clear and _not_ vagueness.

i asked specifically so we could remove subtext.

You asked explicitly what the other person was implying. If you ask that and then say that you weren't asking about any subtext, then one of us has some misunderstanding about the meaning of these words—and that person is not me.

(This comment by me, for example, is definitely imbued with subtext.)

Separately, put some effort into your attempts to have a discussion, please. I.e., beyond the bare minimum that it takes to type one or two sentences and press "reply" without giving it much more thought.

i asked:

> what do you think they were implying?

…because in the previous comment you felt confident enough to answer for them. you said:

> No, they weren't saying that.

is asking what you think they meant unreasonable?

Yes. The entire question is predicated on there being a subtext. I answered that: assume the words they wrote were what they meant. Believing that "[what] they meant" was something besides that or that there was something else that "they were implying" is to believe that there was a subtext by definition.
