Has anyone gone to this so called "edge of the Earth"?

i'm a fan of sceptimatic.

Go read through the 'Moon Hoax, Not' thread and try saying that again.

i'm following it.

sceptimatic is an artist.

interestingly, that would seem to be exactly what is necessary to overcome the Ice Wall Malaise.

watching my fellow antarctic explorers drop mysteriously dead alongside me as we approached the edge of the world would certainly require a death wish in me in order to press on.

and of course, since no one has ever survived the Ice Wall Malaise and returned to describe the phenomenom, it's toxicity must be irresistable.

I've heard flat-earthers talk of El Dorado like cities of gold near the rim. For this to be true, the edge must have been further back in the past, or on an infinite plain.

But since, as you say, nobody has been to the rim and returned, these cities are purely made up and have no evidence or indication to support their existence. They are fiction.

Please reread what I posted, but this time do it carefully.

Ah, the same troll tactic used in the "tunnel through the earth" posts - make a post that implies certain things without specifically stating them, then scorn the responses as foolish, without further detail of exactly why.
You are a discredit to the FES and your idiotic flat earth model will soon be swept away by my vastly superior flat earth model, which elegantly describes the flat non-circular earth without all the gibberish of aether, infinite area, ice walls or bendable light.

non-circular?

this is new, mostly.

i know about the scriptural view of a square plane, but what do you have in mind?

There is no reason for a flat earth to be circular. FE'ers who portray it as a disk are making a huge assumption and should be more zetetic. I am not sure of the exact shape of the earth's plane but I think something similar to a figure 8 may be the most likely.

You are quite right. However, it appears to be circular because of the shape of "Antarctica". Depending on your view of Earth formation, a flat circle may well make the most sense.

Antarctica is not at the edge. You are blindly following the assumption that it constitutes some sort of rim, when there is no evidence that it does.

Quit accusing me of equivocation. It's perfectly clear if you read it. Do you notice how it's only you that's confused?  Something to ponder.

I'm not at all confused, I drew a conclusion. Let me break it down for you quickly, lest a Norwegian come after you with an ultraviolet lamp, or Gandalf cleave a stone in twain and let the dawn shine upon you:
I've heard flat-earthers talk - An admission of rumour, leaving the balance of truth or fiction as equivocal.
of El Dorado like cities of gold near the rim. - This is the object of the rumour
For this to be true, the edge must have been further back in the past, or on an infinite plain. - A speculation resting on the version in which the rumour is true. The sentence ends with no definite conclusion about the truth of the rumour drawn.
However...
I then point out that the rumour CANNOT be true in the context of your earlier assertions that nobody has been to the edge and returned. Which makes your speculation about the presence of cities look like someone who doesn't follow their own reasoning.
