    I think this is off topic. If you want to rehash this kindly comment on this thread as it's more appropriate.

    Laughable from someone that constantly goes off topic. You apologized for making false claims about me, we can drop it to avoid further embarassment for you due to your behavior.

    How is the Soai reaction off topic?

    To pretend what you are saying is science should be embarassing if you are indeed a scientist.-Viv

    Fine believe what you wish, nothing you have said is productive and proves any of my science is incorrect. This is just more intellectual intimidation. Keep it coming Viv, fire away fire away, I am bullet proof. I am titanium. I have been bullied far worse that what you are doing. LOL!!!!

    Kate - I will post a new thread on Soai's work soon. Unless you can show a direct link between left-handed amino acids and the definition of spirit then it is off topic.

    Kate, please keep your alternating complaints about being intimidated and bragging about how tough you are on your thread. Completely off topic here. I've better things to do than watch you be dishonest and change your story every time you are caught.

    Can you explain what spirit is? So far you've no even come close.

    stepping into step once again this morning and only looking for a short twirl on the dance floor:-) Cofty, I'll step away after that

    even if you guys are saying that spirit is a metaphor you cannot simply dismiss spirit as if it was something figurative and unimportant. My argument rests on how metaphors structure language and meaning. if you are talking about metaphors in action then there is a lot for me to agree on since we would now be talking about vivacity and animation in practice in language. Metaphors can behave very much like Kate's catalysts (sp?)

    edit: the direction that I was heading in previously was very much on topic as I was thinking about how what we call spirit is said to behave when people seem to mimic one another's behaviour which then spreads in what used to be called mass hysteria or even nowadays when people speak in tongues unconsciously and lots do it at the same time in unison. would this be off topic? I didn't think so...

    I can show a connection cofty. But because of Vivs posts I am not going to today. I may another day, we'll see. I just think she will just attack my chemistry and I see no point in doing so. It's just not fun anymore cofty. I understand that you are interested in my perspective and having and productive debate, but there is a problem on this thread that needs resolving. Thanks to everyone who sent me a PM, I appreciate your encouragement.

    Cofty, you used this quote on another thread.

    First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out--
    Because I was not a Socialist.

    Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out--
    Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

    Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out--
    Because I was not a Jew.

    Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me. - Martin Niemoller

    Good people speak up for others even if they share different beliefs, I believe this is who you really are. You are a good man cofty. Thank you for your help during my deprogramming so far.

    Kate xx

    No one has dismissed it. It's just all that they have said. And you haven't made an argument yet.

    You've never shown any chemistry on this site, just said you were a chemist and promptly displayed a stunning lack of knowledge about chemistry specifically and science in general. By all means, post some chemistry!

    Anyway, rather than go further off topic, can you explain what spirit is made of?
