A new high

Dang.  We were little nooblets together and you ran off and left me, Mr. Mod Book Author 16000.   

We both arrived at just about the same time, didn't we?

There aren't enough people left from back then.

I clapped loudly for you

Roundy, to celebrate this grand event, you should find your very first post and quote it in this thread.

I love the assertion that REers have to explain  "how the Earth got to be the size it is, and how it got flatteny round".   My guess is he was raised in a Christian Science household (or something) and has never even opened a science textbook, where such explanations can be found quite easily.

For FEers:  How do you explain the fact that wherever we look, we see a curved horizon?  The fact is, if the earth was flat, we would be able to look in any direction that's not blocked by some kind of obstruction and see forever.  There would be no horizon.  But there is.  Which is the first proof that we had (thousands of years ago, when it was first stated) that the Earth is round.  The only rational explanation for a horizon is a curved surface.

But FEers like to ignore facts in favor of outlandish fantasy, don't they?  They are the flesh-and-blood embodiment of Stephen Colbert's "truthiness".

If somebody had told me yesterday that there were still people who believed that the earth was flat, I would have said "No fucking way.  I don't believe that.  Nobody's that stupid."  Now there's a whole group of them on the internet?

Hey guys what's going on in this thread?

I joined a couple months after Roundy. I'm slacking.

Post count is a count of the posts that a person has made.

Everyone was once a naive noob at some point or another.

Not if you practice the art of "Lurk Moar"

I was an extremely nooby noob when I first joined.  It's true that I didn't lurk much, as I just had to respond as soon as I started reading some of the ideas being thrown around.  To my credit, though, I did read the FAQ.

How did you go from a Champion of RET to Flat Earth Theorist/Planar Moderator ?

The same way it has with everyone else who made that leap, I guess.  It very quickly became apparent to me that on average the FEers were very much the more intelligent group than the REers.  They were having all the fun, so over time I became one of them.

It actually started with a masterful bit of trolling where I claimed that the FEers had converted me.  I switched my name from Roundy to Flatty and started acting like I idolized Tom Bishop.  The only reason my name is still Roundy, really, is that Gayer likes it.

It's going to happen to you too, you know.  I already see it starting.

Wow, there was a time when you were pretending to be a fe'er? Lulz.

I lurked long enough before I joined to realize 99% of the people here were trolling. As i posted I realized that number was 100%
