Is the World Flat? The Flatlander's theory..

[reddan1981]

Discussion and debate run best on reason. Not a one of us has scoffed at a strange idea so long as it had a chain of reason attached (or discoverable) that derived from first principles.
The act of testing an idea to see if it survives or fails is a sort of fun so primal I cannot describe it to the incurious. I'll adapt my advice to Dr. to you: keep up or let the big dogs pull ahead.

Protip: don't get between us and the idea we're testing. I abhor collateral casualties. But folks who step into the line between (intellectual) prey and (logical) jaw are regrettable but unavoidable. But they self-selected for the attention, and then take it personally when it usually is not.

Tautological self stroking.

Believe me, we've been entertained to no apparent end.

I noticed people see to get real passionate about this subject for some reason. There must be something to it or why else would people get so embroiled.

Once you realize that NASA is committing fraud on a grand scale, there really is no ''scientific'' evidence to prove the earth's rotundity.

Except for all the scientific contributions prior to NASA...

I get decidedly dispassionate about about people trying to spread stupid ideas which have no basis in fact.

I would say that qualifies as name calling.

Prove that there is no basis in fact with evidence please.

You'd be wrong to say that, too.
