The flat Earth model cannot explain lunar eclipses

No one replied to my question in the Mythbusters thread... so I came here because the Moon is awesome.  I wasn't going to post, but then someone ("Space Cowgirl" - which is a great name) decided to refer to me and some other folks as "globularists" and I was absolutely tickled by the phrase.  Seriously, I love it.

What I don't love is that I am having trouble telling when the Flat Earth supporters are being serious or trying to troll... it's not particularly upsetting, I thought the moon shrimp (err, sorry... moonshramps) discussion was delightful.  I'm supporting her term because she introduced me to "globularists" as a word, so she gets my support.

Hi Alexandria. The forum is filled with globularists, you don't seem like the angry kind, so welcome to the FES!

Moonshramp was a joke name given to the lunas by some very funny trolls. We loved their artwork and calling them moonshramps kinda stuck... but calling them "luna" or referring to them as bioluminescent lifeforms is more proper in the serious discussions.

Sometimes the flat earth supporters are having some fun, which tends to set the angry globularists off on a rampage. They hate fun.

Alexandria, please be aware that "lunas" is a minority term not recognised by the majority of forum users. The majority of users prefer to call them ORBISIMS, which is an acronym.

Alexandria, Dino Niel is an angry globularist. He's still mad because one of his posts was moved to Complete Nonsense about 2 months ago. I assure you the term accepted by the Flat Earth theorists is "lunas".

A poll showed otherwise.
Will you tell Alexandria that ORBISIMS stands for Only Retards Believe In Self Illuminating Moon Shrimp, or should I?

The angry globularists outnumber the Flat Earth theorists, so the poll does not show otherwise. mofo.

There are more than 2 FE'ers. "Lunas" received 2 votes. It's not even the preferred term among the flattists. And if the ORBISIMS are real (which you claim) then the common name is determined by majority preference regardless of affiliation - it's not some exclusive right of people who say the earth is flat.

Why not ask our latest fount of all knowledge?

  3)the moon is flat and has a luminescence of its own,

  I'm making my own astronomy theory.
  moon is not flat
  

Maybe he wants us to vote on it! I'll put my tick on number 2.

I doubt more than 2 flat earthers even bothered with your angry globularist poll. It is my right to call them "lunas" and you can't stop me! We're not calling them by your acronym because your retarted.

Come on now, just because he is retarted, that does not mean that we should treat him like a retard.  Let him call them what ever he wants.

He can call them glowing squirrels if he wants! He keeps telling me I can't call them "lunas" 

He is trying his propaganda band wagon again, even though it did not work the last several times.  Those liberal socialists do things like that a lot. 

He can call them glowing squirrels if he wants! He keeps telling me I can't call them "lunas" 

I was told by Pongo, in his role as moderator and dictator of forum policy, that I was not allowed to call them moonshramps, which is what I'd like to call them. Thus the necessity of finding a consensus term of reference.
But since Jora, in his role as moderator and dictator of forum policy, has officially sanctioned people calling them whatever they like, I shall resume calling them moonshramps, and refrain from chastising Space Cowgirl any further.

FINE 

Until Pongo moves another of your posts, and you cry about it for 2 months.

That's true. They emit deadly light.

But I guess that's true of all one-way relationships.  It would be worse if you loved the sun, I suppose. 

I'm curious to the biological reason that moonshramps even illuminate. Is it to attract a mate or something like a fire fly? Seems counter productive though if they all do it at once and makes enough light that we can see from here no matter what height for the moon you go with.

It is to give the FE'ers an explanation for an otherwise unexplainable phenomenon. They do it specially because they love Space Cowgirl.

The lives of the lunas are a mystery.

And yet you find it a far fetched that it is just the sun reflecting off of it...

Maybe the sun's light is bioluminescent, too.

That is kind of irrelevant to this situation. Even if it was that doesn't mean that the moon would have to be by default and it would still come back to the moon reflecting light from the sun.

Maybe the sun's light is bioluminescent, too.

5,778 K seems a bit 'ot for bioluminescent, because the spectrum looks very close (not identical to) "black body radiation" at this temperature.

It's not possible for me to have "bred" the life on the moon or sun, the sun and moon existed long before I did!

I know it is difficult to imagine life that isn't somehow like the life on earth. Maybe there are life forms that eat hydrogen.

They I look forward to seeing your published work where you have not only found but extensively studied these organisms and the mountain of tangible evidence that comes with it.

I'm not sure why you would be waiting. Enough has been done to prove the model I go with already so more redundant tests are not going to show anything new.

I am waiting for communication from the solas and the lunas.

Well until that happens the sun and moon are not bioluminescent and the moon is reflecting sunlight.

There are also saturnas and venusas, but they are very small. The venusas have a behaviour similar to the lunas, so I suggest a common ancestor.

I am waiting for communication from the solas and the lunas.

Please report back when they contact you! I'd be careful not to use aids for this communication like James did. I'm afraid that might be what did him in.

I miss James! Was it you or James doing the sleep experiments?

Well, I did polyphasic sleeping for a while. But I'm not sure that's what you are referring to. Must have been James?
