Title: What is to stop someone from flying through antarctica?
Post by: dnj23 on May 22, 2012, 09:12:00 AM
You know, fly past these ice walls  and meeting your flat earth buddies on the other side of the disk?  :D

nothing, it has been done countless times. Antartica, while the majority is covered in Ice. It is not the mythic ice wall, (end of the disc).

So then this site is really a ruse, just to stir up attention?

Claiming that there are other intelligent species habitating the area outside of the icewall is a very bold assertion.  Do you have any evidence to support this outlandish claim?

I'm not sure, but iwanttobelieve is probably referring to the infinite plane model of the Earth.

im not sure he knows what he believes in half the time. on models that support the south pole as a continent show it with nothing on the other side. so to travel over it would put people in a bad position where they wont be able to return.
i dunno i just like picking holes in his silly posts really.

Which map are you referring to?  This one?

You should learn to use the img function.  It would probably help you in your arguments and trolling.  Like this.

I am refering to Master Willmores map. The truest map of the known world imo.

I think FET should at minimum agree on ONE map.

I don't know if any FE'ers here really believe the map that squevil posted.

You don't have to believe in a map. either FET has a map which works, or it doesn't.

I don't see how that map works, but it was posted for a reason.  I'm sure someone has a defense for it.

Post by: squevil on May 24, 2012, 09:43:37 AM
both maps have serious flaws from what i have seen.


@iwanttobelieve, care to tell us what we are looking at in that NASA photo? you dodged that didnt you

What the magical jumping sun map?

No, this one:

No, this one:


That is the one they call the "Magic Jumping Sun" map.  It was given this name because of the incomprehensible pattern the Sun would have to follow to even begin to match observations on that map.

Post by: Saddam Hussein on May 24, 2012, 05:00:00 PM
Yeah, it looks pretty bizarre to me too.  Hopefully, a FE'er who supports that map might offer their viewpoint on why it works.

There is no viewpoint on why it works:

How and why the sun switches gears is, of course, unknown. This mystery can be included amongst the many mysteries of the heavens.

And, as for why nobody notices the bizarre sun behavior:

You can't say what observers on the equator experience on the day the sun switches gears. These are third world countries on the equator. Who is to notice if the sun rises slightly to the right and sets slightly to the left?

The people there are more concerned with spearing zebras for dinner, knitting loincloths, and coming to terms with a permanent body oder. They are not interested in studying alternative world models.

I declare this thread A victory for the Continent of Antarctica.
No more shall the FAQ refer this to be the "Ice Wall"

Thank you Master Willmore, for your insight you were the first to defy the FAQ and Zetically win.

Uh, no.  I think we're fine with our consensus on the Ice Wall.

I just ignore iwanttobelieve.  Why can't everybody else do that as well?  It's not like it has ever contributed anything even remotely worthwhile to the discussion.

If noobs are taking him seriously, then we can't just ignore him.

if what he says he believes if actually true then we have a moral duty to correct him :)

Correction isn't very useful if the person being corrected refuses to accept it.

No they aren't.

1) We need to warn noobs that iwanttobelieve is essentially a joke.
2) We can't help iwanttobelieve itself.
Title: Re: What is to stop someone from flying through antarctica?

Then correction is useful for the purpose of warning noobs.

when new poeple ask the same questions its best to give them the answer then reply with something like
" thats the usual view from the fes, however some like iwanttobelieve have thier own views but other do not agree with them. some people have more radical views be them religious or misguided, however the fes promotes the fes ideas and individual ones equally."

Post by: Saddam Hussein on May 26, 2012, 06:59:05 PM
I don't think that correcting him and ignoring him are the only two responses to this situation.  There's probably a way we can gently humor him when he posts while also assuring the noobs that we don't stand behind his comments.
