Tbontob, then you did not get my point. I never said hydrogen was safe, I always said it was not any more dangerous than other explosive gases/liquids.

[Narrew]

Hey!!! Pull my finger ...I will let you decide if it is dangerous or not

[tbontob]

No Fyron, what you did say and I quote:

"Oh no, it will release hydrogen and water will form! Not that! Hydrogen is nowhere near as dangerous as people make it out to be. The Hindenburg and other dirigibles created a very bad impression in the public's eye about hydrogen power..."

There is no mention of other gases. That came later when you tried to shift the topic to make it appear you were right.

[Fyron]

Ever heard of the term hyperbole? Overstatement/exaggeration for effect?

I did not ever attempt to shift the topic, I went along with the flow of conversation.

Actually, I have heard of hyperbole. In fact, I would suggest I heard of it before you did.

And yes, you did shift it. There is no mention of other gases.

Why are you so obsessed with the first post? The first post is not the entirety of the conversation, you know.

And no, I shifted nothing. There is plenty of mention of other gases, if you look at the entire conversation. The intial post was not the entirety.

Don't use any arrogant agism Tbontob. All that does is make you look foolish.

Since you know what a hyperbole is, you should be able to recognize that the post you are obsessing over was indeed a hyperbole. I exaggerated it to make a point. It was not written as an end-all, beat-all statement about hydrogen being perfectly safe. You seem to think it was, when it certainly was not.
