According to How Stuff Works the RE'ers who visit this website are little more than internet trolls.From http://computer.howstuffworks.com/troll4.htm-------------The first step to dealing with trolls is learning how to recognize them. The following traits are clues:- Does the person ask the same questions worded in different ways? Does the person ignore suggestions or responses from other members of the community? If the community has a frequently asked question (FAQ) section, does the person seemingly refuse to read it?- Has the person posted inflammatory remarks that have no real substance to them?- Does he or she make it a habit to post messages that include insults and vulgar language?- Does he or she respond to other members in a purely negative, critical way?- Does the person post messages that are generally off-topic? Does he or she seem to want only attention rather than discuss the topic at hand?- Does the person resurrect old conversations or discussions that were once controversial within the community? Some trolls enjoy bringing back old arguments to encourage dissent within a group.- When confronted with a counter argument, does the person in question change tactics rather than answer the points made by another member? Does the person employ logical fallacies within their posts?If the answer to these questions is yes, there's a good chance you're dealing with a troll.-------------Seems to fit the bill to me.
I'm not black nor a thug, I'm more like god who will bring 7 plagues of flat earth upon your ass.
Most wonderful of sirs. According to How Stuff Works the earth is also a sphere. Can this site indeed be trusted?
Scepti, this idiocy needs to stop and it needs to stop right now. You are making a mockery of this fine forum with your poor trolling. You are a complete disgrace.
Tom, what make you think that you can just toss accusations around like that all willy-nilly?
You have to admit, some of the descriptions of a troll are uncanny when you think about RE'ers.Does the person ask the same questions worded in different ways? Does the person ignore suggestions or responses from other members of the community? If the community has a frequently asked question (FAQ) section, does the person seemingly refuse to read it?
And the same can be said for an FE'er.Quote- Does the person post messages that are generally off-topic?

When do we ever post off topic? It is usually the RE'ers that baww in every thread about this or that.
FE'ers have only the most valid of logic.

Does the person ask the same questions worded in different ways?
Besides, perhaps FET is a conspiracy too.
It is just the way it is, you understanding it doesn't concern me.

Sometimes we need to ask the same question over and over again because we never get proper answers. For example, how many times have I asked you how you can tell the difference between moonlight from bioluminescent shrimp and any other form of luminescence without any proper answer?
I viewed empirical evidence of the bioluminescence just last night.

Or maybe there is, but you're just playing the part of inquisitive RE'er here?
Where did you educate the biology, in toulet?

I do not question John Davis's sincerity. If it is indeed false then I have been completely fooled and I'd be the first to admit it.But I don't think I could say the same for many other FE'ers on here.

Thank you; its very refreshing to hear that. I agree with your assessment that many here that claim to be FEers are likely not however. It also strikes me as odd the extremely low amount of religious flat earth believers here (with some notable exceptions) compared to the overall populace.

Plus, the definite movement going on to divorce FET of religious ties (at least the necessity of religious ties for truth.)
