There are definitely four types:
Devil's Advocates: Roboparsisteve, English Gent.
Trolls,
Believers: John Davis, Tom Bishop,
Misguided: Leevee,
Supposing this RE propoganda is true, what exactly is the difference between devil's advocates and trolls? And what is the difference between believers and 'misguided'?
No not supposing anything like that. Assuming nothing,
DA's are reasonable most of the time. i.e. if you give them sound evidence they'll admit defeat on a topic. These people don't post ludicrous arguments like how 1+1=1 therefore science is broken.
Believers have come across something in their life that for them is evidence for the worlds flatness, however wrong they may be
Misguided people, have no idea what they are talking about. Like the one guy who posted that the laws of entropy are broken by gravity, because gravity should cause an orbiting body to reach infinite speed.
Trolls post arguments like the misguided, but know them to be wrong. example moonlight.
But then there are also users, the Batman or Dr. House of this classification.
like Parsifal, a hero and a villian.
Parsifal once tried to convince me that optical illusions were a part of the conspiracy, and that jpg's are actually moving images. I asked him what about actual photos, he said they made the ink move on its own
Pertaining to the purpose of this message board, I would have to say that I consider the Earth to be round, not that its shape makes any difference whatsoever in my everyday life. I've been reading through some threads here, and many of you seem to be sophisticated, intelligent individuals; that is why I joined. I was linked to this site originally by the member known as "Androkles", though I don't think he has very many posts.
Its a shame, he would've been a great ally in the fight for RE, but he probably became a DA because of all the stupid noobz
