By almost all accounts Samuel Rowbotham was a skilled debater and intelligent man. There will always be those on the other side of the debate that will levee these attacks against us, against common sense, reality and truth. You are amongst those who try, yet so far you have failed to get the spamghetti to stick to the wall.
I am not particularly keen on Rowbotham, aside from his historical importance and the teleological necessity of his arguments to have existed to get us to where we are today. Many of his arguments and so-called proofs I dismiss. Others have worth.
There has never been a time I held the UA as factual. At times I will defend it as if I did as many of the arguments brought to its gates are balderdash, and because I am knowledgable about what it says and doesn't say.
Wise does like to claim I am no friend to the cause, and not the greatest flat earther of our time. His arguments against me couldn't hold the weight of a feather. His mind addled by years searching for the truth, he has turned against his own and attacks our own mutual interests in some fool's errand of a holy war. On the other hand, I see no warrant for attacking him based on his difficulty grasping our lingua. That's just low class, but I'd expect little more than that out lonerager.
Now onward to my credentials. It is clear neither Sandokhan the great, or Wise the mad can hold a match to the light of my greatness. They don't even know who created one of the most prominent theories on this site, and that it wasn't me - or that I fought for years against said theory. The same is true of rager, who has finally proven he is capable of opening a book! Kudos!
However, your jubilation at finally finishing your Hooked On Phonics course will be short lived as I drag the corpse of your pitiful worldview around our city for all to see. I have created the most robust extension of the work of Johnson and Shenton to date, one which has never been successfully assaulted. When the earth sciences books are rewritten, there is no doubt my face will adorn its own section, and your eyes will shed tears of regret as your first born will have to read of your great internet enemy for his school boy tests. Aside from my work with the infinite plane model, I have also successfully shown that the average round earther believes the earth to be flat, without them even having the therewithall to realize this. I have built this into a robust theory that also stands without challenge.
My colleagues will always look at me from the side of their eye, much like those round earthers. As Antonio Salieri was to Mozart, their minds are simply not up to the task of competing against the voice of our generation. Its of no fault of their own - it is a symptom of their human condition and I feel great regret that my genius has such a heavy weight on the souls out there that also reach for truth.
As far as gravity goes, its simply a word we use to hide man's ignorance. Of course things fall. Do I think gravity is causing some sort of celestial race with giant balls of mud being flung about in circles at accelerating speeds? Of course not. That would be ludicrous.
