FE Believers

I'm inclined to think that of few of them aren't but to recognize their positions, maybe we could rename it FE Proponents to extend the title to include all theorists?
Also, I wasn't planning on staying a regular forever, and I wouldn't mind becoming an official proponent. Anyways, for the purposes of this site, it seem like it makes more sense to state what your defending instead of why.

I thought that FE'er was the standard title for anyone who argues in favor of FET, regardless of whether or not they are true believers.

It was my understanding there was also the ranking of FE Believer and FEW in their own colors, though nobody from those two groups is online now.

EDIT: Aha, gin's online.

It's in orange, and The FEW is in purple.

Hello there :]

FEW is a group that was working on the Flat Earth Wiki (FEW).  As far as I know, FEW members are not necessarily true believers.  They just volunteered to work on the wiki.

Daniel also only makes you a believer if he thinks you actually believe it. For example, I asked if I could be one, because I am one, but he said I'm not one, so he didn't make me one.

Hello there :]

Good morning.

I know, but I thought it was relevant to mention that it existed.

Daniel also only makes you a believer if he thinks you actually believe it. For example, I asked if I could be one, because I am one, but he said I'm not one, so he didn't make me one.

That's my point. It seems like if you argue on behalf on FE you should be recognized. I am an FE'er, but not I do not personally favor FE. I abstaining from personal judgment, but it seems like replacing the title with "FE proponent" could combine both advocates like myself and believers so that RE'ers know who to talk to. It's a FE discussion forum after all. Short of altering my sig or personal text, nobody would ever know that I'm an FE'er, without digging through my post history.

For example, I asked if I could be one, because I am one, but he said I'm not one, so he didn't make me one.

That was awful sentence.

I did that on purpose. Though that first comma should have been a colon.

I have a suggestion: True RE Believers!

The problem is that sometimes it's hard to tell the difference between genuine true believers and skillful devil's advocates that don't drop character.

So why not just make them all FE'ers?
It beats having 2 groups of people that are hard to distinguish from each other.

It's also based on how much you argue for FET. There are a lot of people in the lower boards who claim to be FE believers every time the question comes up, but who never actually debate in the upper boards or contribute to FET. I consider that to be an important factor.

What about people who clearly really do believe in FET but their arguments are so imbecilic that they actually are more likely to lure people to the RET side? James springs to mind here, and possibly the Bishop.

Irrelevant.
