No worries man.

THE SAME EXACT THING IS BEING SAID ABOUT “THE SCIENCE” FOR CORONAVIRUS RIGHT NOW
But I am not talking about COVID though. I'm talking about Flat Earth.
I wouldn't be so sure about COVID because I don't know what to think of it anymore. The arguments around flat earth I have direct experience of how BS they are.
Plus it's really pretty settled in so many unquestionable ways that anyone arguing the opposite is going to bear the brunt of some hefty debate!

Why should I sympathise? Why should I 'humanise' it? What does that even mean?
I'm treating the person as how I would treat them in real life, as an adult, and with a bit of ridicule yes, but I am not going to insult them even further by treating them as if they were children, unable to engage in real talk.

I promise to keep an open mind, but in order to get me even remotely curious about the opposing stance, your would have to come up with evidence massively beyond anything of the NASA Fakery videos and amateur experiments that are up on your tube.”
But I don't agree that there are so many anomalies. I don't have an open mind regarding it, because I know for a fact, it's all nonsense.
Why shouldn't I be direct and adult enough to let someone else know that I think they are talking crap? If someone didn't tell me my stuff was crap, when it really was, then that would be way more insulting to me.
