You use carbon in one specific form. Just because carbon in a different form doesn't work for you doesn't mean that other form isn't carbon.

What form of carbon? Jewelers all over the world cut and polish one specific form of carbon and mount it in rings many times every day.

Ahh, the irony...
GoodScienceForYou wrote on Feb 7th, 2010 at 11:04pm:All you are doing is trying to insinuate that I don't know much about chemistry. f**k you! You are nothing but a nonsense artist.
No insinuation necessary, you prove that you don't know much about chemistry with every post that claims diamond isn't carbon.

Won't happen, because I have nothing to apologize for. The readers know I'm right, and you are too blinded by your own arrogance to admit that you're the one that's wrong.

I understand that some forms of carbon are usable in ways that other forms of carbon are not... for example, graphite can be used in many ways, including as a lubricant, where fullerenes and diamonds cannot... and fullerenes can be used to make high-tensile-strength fibers, where graphite and diamond cannot... and diamond can be used as a decorative or as a grinding material, where graphite and fullerenes cannot.
The point that I understand, and that you obviously do not, is that graphite, fullerenes, and diamond are
all carbon.GoodScienceForYou wrote on Feb 7th, 2010 at 11:04pm:Don't come on here and try to insult my intelligence. As soon as you do you give me full permission to attack you. Understand. Then after you are banned we will remove all your crap postings from here. And this post will go as well.
Ahh, the irony continues... you're the one that brought out the picture, but as soon as I turn it back on you, you get offended and threaten to ban and delete - never mind that no actual forum rules have been broken, except possibly the very same ones that you yourself continue to break every day.
Enjoy your anything-but-neutral forum full of your own inane posts. The rest of us will continue exploring the
real world.
