How about you go back and try and defend your crap on the Roche limit before starting more crap?
Think of your favourite FEer. One who actually argues for FET, and isn't an obvious troll.
That is far too difficult.
See, the Flat feathers all spout such nonsense (including you), that it is impossible to tell if they are a troll, or genuinely believe the crap they are saying.
The only time you can tell that they aren't serious is when they don't try to defend flat Earth at all and instead make jokes.
For example, are you a troll?
You spout complete crap about the Roche limit claiming it indicates we should be torn apart, even though the Roche limit only applies to gravitationally bound objects (i.e. objects held together by their own gravity).
So are you a troll that is obviously attempting to apply a limit which simply doesn't apply in this case?
Or did you genuinely think that the Roche limit applies to all objects, regardless of if they are gravitationally bound and regardless of if they are in free fall?
You also have the added complication of those that lie to defend their beliefs, even though they genuinely believe.
There aren't too many of us on this site. Jroa's obviously a troll and spends no real time on details, space cowgirl posts entirely jokes, Intikam's a clear shock-factor troll. You're not left with many. If you want, expand the search to REers who argue for FET, like I've seen one do.
And you spout stuff which clearly doesn't apply, so I guess you are ruled out as well.
In fact, I am yet to see a single person provide a rationally sound argument for FET. So I guess no FEer here is genuine, they must all be trolls.
How often are they around?
Were they here briefly, then left? Are they back-and-forth, here-then-gone like Scepti? Did they just vanish?
I bet they are. There isn't a single, regular, serious FEer who posts here.
Why do you think that is?
Because there is no rationally sound defence of FET.
Anyone who seeks to defend it either needs to lie (or at the very least make numerous baseless and often paranoid assumptions) or spout irrational crap.
So many REers complain FEers don't answer their questions, or that there are too few around. Why? There are clearly a lot of serious FE believers, you can find us all over the internet. There are Q&A sections, I think Jeranism has a formspring for example so you can bombard him easily. So FEers can exist.
Pretty sure I tried asking questions in the comment sections on his you-tube channel, and they don't appear to anyone except me.
He seems to be just another troll.
Why don't they stick around on this site?
Because for the most part, this site is quite unmoderated.
If someone comes in with questions or facts that the FEers can't explain away, they can't just make those questions or facts dissappear.
Only in heavily controlled environments where reality can be silenced do FEers thrive, because they get rid of anything that shows them to be delusional or liars.
Could it be the constant abuse? Could it be the objectively terrible debating of REers?
You have that the wrong way around.
More often it is the FEers spouting abuse, like inkham, to avoid admitting he is wrong.
I am yet to see a FEer provide any kind of rational debate defending Earth being flat.
On the other hand, plenty of REers will provide rational arguments which the FEers just ignore or blatantly lie about.
Could it be the constant repetition of stock arguments refuted hundreds of times before? Could it be the constant threads filled with questions that would take hours to go through one-by-one?
Again, all that applies to the FEers not the REers.
The FEers make the same crappy arguments, arguments that have been refuted countless times.
When they can't win, they try to change subjects or bury their opponents in so much crap that it would take far too long to go through.
Look at you, rather than continue to defend the same (or at least very similar) refuted argument that has been made by other FEers before you, you just run away.
Could it be how few REers are willing to put in the effort to understand what FE model is being proposed? Could it be the double standards?
Yes, double standards, where FEers are unwilling to actually try and understand anything in the RE model unless it helps them claim it is fake.
You will understand that the Roche limit means some objects get torn apart when close to a large mass. But you wont "understand" that that only applies to gravitationally bound objects.
FEers want us to simply accept their claims and "observations" without any evidence, yet will outright reject any observation provided in support of a round Earth.
Why is it the serious FEers don't stick around for long here?
Could that possibly have any correlation as to why some threads don't get much attention?
What could you do about it?
You mean like the threads pointing out serious flaws in FE "theory" that the FEers can't explain?
Or the threads the FEers abandon once they have been shown to be completely wrong?
I'd like to think this'll stop some of you going right back to hurling abuse, but part of me doubts it. The good REers out there though, please try to remember this, and maybe remind your side of it every now and again.
Perhaps you should stop acting like it is only the REers that do this.
Perhaps you should give this advice to your fellow FEers (trolls or otherwise).
Have them actually defend their claims.
Have them admit when they are wrong.
Have them actually answer questions honestly and rationally about flaws in FE theory.
Have the same standard apply to evidence for and against FE/RE.
