Don't you all agree that if this site were created in the context of complete scientific neutrality, it would be a lot harder to counter RE arguments?
I'm saying, what if it were the "Let's determine the shape of the Earth" society?  Here at the FE society, discussion is supposed to flow with the FAQ, and anyone who even disagrees with it is told to read it again (picture a PC tech support office, and an asian guy telling you to reboot for the 3rd time in a row.  Or talking to a machine spitting back at you what you already know).
In the neutral society, with no FAQ policing the arguments, I personally think that in the long run... discussion would start out with "Look outside. It's flat." and eventually evolve as it did over the course of history.  Given enough time and resources, of course.

1.)  If someone states 'the Earth is flat'  a 'neutral' forum would explode, with everything that this forum sees everyday.

Having an FAQ makes answering the most common questions easier and faster.

2.)  As the theories have been refined, the FAQ seems to have not been.

I think that the FAQ needs to be updated with all prevailing theories about phenomenae on a flat earth.

Regardless of how flat the earth is, I think we all have different conceptions of what shape it is anyway.
he world seems round when I wear my old glasses.

I think it's become more of a 'not round earth' society.  Flat earth is a misnomer anyway.
