It appears that you are misunderstanding the meaning of the word "define" and "definition"

See that really big word "causes", Mr. Insane Person? It appears twice in the above paragraph. That is what the research is looking for. You have provided a symptom list.

See you before 6pm, Captain Amazing.

you have asked me about 10 times to "define the cause of autism" and i have defined "the cause of autism" to meaning "something that causes the onset of autism" maybe you have a problem with the meaning of the word define.

If you want me to talk about the etiology, then ask me about that, instead of asking me for the definition of some words.

No, the word that is being misunderstood intentionally by you is 'cause'.

Why the flood?

OK, i know what cause means. wanna see?

Definitions of cause on the Web:
events that provide the generative force that is the origin of something; "they are trying to determine the cause of the crash"

See, i know what cause means.

Should we stop this? could you please argue against my evidence instead of asking me to define some words and then complain when i do define the meaning of those words.

OK, since i joined this discussion on page 4 you have yet to argue against my evidence. I take this as proof that you can't argue against it and that i am correct and you just won't accept defeat.

And since i joined this discussion on page 4 you have just chosen to make personal attacks which does nothing except making you look like insecure little boy that don't know how to behave.

Mercury is the second most toxic element on earth, second only to plutonium. The amount of mercury found in one mercury thermometer is enough to pollute a small lake.

Now, off to eat. Your gloating will last less than six hours, you last word obsessed maniac.

I am not gloating, I'm just trying to get you to join the discussion instead of attacking me all the time.
