Now how about you address the OP and provide some math for a FE?

Read the FAQ
So that's a no. You have no math for FE, likely because you know it shows a FE to be garbage.

Here is an example of math for a FE, using the common FE map: Note: 0 degrees is an example, due to rotational symmetry the same is true for any longitude.
On the equinox, at roughly 6 am (solar time) for people at 0 degrees, east/west, the sun is directly overhead the equator at 90 degrees east.
This would mean the apparent direction to the sun (ignoring elevation) would be NE (i.e. a bearing of 45 degrees) for a person on the equator at 0 degrees east/west.
As you move further north, it would drift towards the east, only reaching ~due east just before the north pole.
As you move further south, the sun would drift further north.
For a given distance d away from the north pole (along 0 degrees east) the sun would appear at a bearing given by:
tan(a)=10000 km/d

So at the southern tip of Chile, some 16 000 km away from the north pole, it should be tan(a)=10/16, and thus a=32 degrees. So it should be north of north east.

Instead, the sun appears roughly due east.

We can also do this the other way to determine how far away the sun is from the north pole (x). Assuming a 1 degree error (to be nice, and meaning we get an underestimate) the sun is off at a bearing of 89 degrees.
Thus, tan(89 deg)=x/16000
Thus x~=915 000 km.
This puts it well outside the range of a FE.

This simple math shows the common FE model to be impossible.

As they drown in the south Atlantic ocean. Please, you can't even get a sentence in without having HUGE flaws in your reasoning.

Why would they be drowning?
I see you are projecting again.
Perhaps you can try and address the issue raised?

Ever heard of a boat.
Regardless, the same applies at any longitude due to rotational symmetry.
The angle to the sun on the equinox shows the sun must be very distant, much further away than the size of Earth.

If you meant to say a boat, then just say a boat. But you never mentioned a boat - leaving everyone here to assume you were talking about sea people.

Or that I was discussing the general case by using a specific longitude as an example.

Now then, care to explain why this math shows the sun to be so far away from Earth?

No I read the thread, he was choosing a set longitude, yet you felt you could make him look dumb by bringing that up, but you were too stupid to include longitude in your response.  So I just returned the favor to show how moronic you really are.  If you cannot argue against the points made, and insist on going for the immediate insults, then maybe you should rethink your life and stop wasting oxygen.

So no answer.
I take it that means you admit FE is fundamentally flawed.
If you don't, then explain how this simple math shows the sun to be so far from Earth.

Dimwit! Quito is almost at 0o, 0.1807o S to be a bit more precise.

As JackBlack  said, "This simple math shows the common FE model to be impossible."

Have you finally worked it out?

Mr Narcberry you'd better contact John Davis, he must have forgotten to note that you were a moderator.

Of course you wouldn't have been trying to pull the wool over our eyes, would you? Not you!
I never did believe a word you said,  now I know for sure that you try to deceive us.

Bye bye, spinner of fairy-tales an other tall stories.

I suspect that malpractice was simply that Mr Narcberry and facts don't even have a nodding relationship.

Rab, you remember those little guys in the school yard who would tell how their dad could beat up your dad, or made up stories of how special they were?  You know, the ones who had a low self esteem problems, perhaps penis envy or possibly mental abuse at home.  I still feel sorry for those little guys.

Yes, the "desire to be unique is important for these little guys with low self esteem problems".
It often shows itself in the belief in one or more irrational conspiracies and there's no denying that the flat earth belief is totally dependent on a Global conspiracy.  Here's a recent paper on this topic,
Studies find the need to feel unique is linked to belief in conspiracy theories, ERIC W. DOLAN, August 8, 2017.

But, please don't discourage, narcberry, he's the Globe's 2nd best friend. I just can't work out whether he's a very smart "undercover agent" or a deluded flat earther.

You can work out which "brother" is the Globe's best friend, though there's no doubt that he's just a member of the "Brotherhood of the Deluded".
