Not my fault they are so ignorant.
All I did was to remind them of the dire fate of Christopher Columbus .He got lost on his way home. All three ships sailed right off the edge of the earth, where they were eaten by the giant tortoise.
I honestly thought every school boy knew that. Apparently not.
I couldn't tell which ones were trolls. They all certainly seem to be lacking a sense of humour.
You know about the TRUE Flat Earth!

I think it's possible to convince some "on the fence" of things before they tip entirely over to conspiracy land; before they start seeing conspiracies everywhere.
Behind the Curve was a good documentary; I actually enjoyed it. The ending was especially hilarious.

I tend to agree, though it's bizarre to me that the ones on the fence even got there in the first place.

My advice is to avoid them at almost any cost.

I think this sounds good in theory but Flat Earthers are special kind of stupid.
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
