25. Your posts in these threads have a distinctive lack of content in them.

So, I am dealing with mostly ad hominem when dealing with you.

Much like Hg, F(-) bioaccumulates in the human body. Let's walk through this one very carefully:

* "like" indicates an analogous situation, not an identical one. It would therefore be an example of a lack of understanding of English to imply that I thought an identical situation was being encountered. It also makes your paragraph about various organomercury compounds rather unnecessary.

* "bioaccumulates* indicates that the compounds finds regions in the body where it likes to sit. It does not get metabolized away in some fashion. Anyone that has taken at least a semester of biochemistry (have you?) understands that the body has a myriad of cycles, each dealing with a specific task. Sometimes the body is unable to deal with a particular compound, and that compound might then become toxic. For example: Flourine is the most electronegative element, divalent cations form insoluble salts --> CaF2 is a stable, insoluble salt that will remain in place. This destroys your bones with time, due to this "bioaccumulation" of Fluoride in your body. Mercury does not do this, but it also bioaccumulates, and its mechanism is well understood, but I will leave it to you to use your Google-Fu in an effort to self-educate.

The first misunderstanding is inexcusable. The second one is excusable.
