ausGeoff's last post was meant as an insult.
Nope; not at all. I was only reporting things exactly as I see them. Nothing more, nothing less.
I'm tempted to agree with you ausGeoff. My seven year old has worked out how camera exposure and what happens if you take a picture of a bright object and dim object at the same time. Something that Sceptic refuses to accept.
This pushes me more towards the hypothesis that he is just a bad troll. What adult in this day and age has not used a camera of some description?
I will apologize for going back to the old thread about how amateur radio operators were able to determine the distance from the earth to the moon in "Moon Bounce."
But this turned out to be a classic example of FE trollling. They just said "It's impossible." It wasn't just sceptimatic that does the trolling. Of course this was a subject not as familiar as photography but it was a case in which if you don't know anything about a subject you aren't interested in knowing how it works and don't want to know how it works.
This seems to be the impression I got from all the trollling, de-railing, etc. that went on for quite some time on that thread.
If we're going to suggest banning sceptimatic and sculelos for the contents of their posts, we might as well include a whole bunch of other FE's. But again, we shouldn't request banning sceptimatic for that very reason. IMHO this website was supposed to be created for Flat Earthers, but it seems it is evolving more into a Round Earth Forum.
But the Flat Earthers should still have their say to present their theories on a Flat Earth.
I realize I am taking a 180 degree turn on my suggestion about banning sceptimatic, but I am withdrawing my suggestion for banning sceptimatic. He should remain to provide plenty of material for debating. And I think "We should agree to disagree agreeaby" without a lot of name calling, vulgar language, etc. that both FE's and RE's seem to display .
You can consider this posting just another case of a great big "IMHO" . Also just some more fuel to the fire for FE's to consider RE's to be weird. LOL.
