Comment on Why are flat earthers so badly harassed and ridiculed by globers?

Because despite what they believe, they aren’t challenging my world view. They’re peddling conspiracy theories and setting Olympic records in mental gymnastics to ignore mountains of evidence, all in an effort to present “proof” that has been refuted over and over again. It’s a position that is absolutely laughable and any flat earther who considers themselves rational have already presented enough anecdotal evidence that a debate on the subject will be as stupid as the belief itself.

I would be okay with globers if they weren’t so hostile when it comes to their beliefs. Ultimately it doesn’t matter that some people believe the Earth is round, while the rest of us know it’s flat. What matters is being able to talk about it in a way that is constructive and that isn’t abusive or name-calling.

But it does matter.
It matters because it’s symptomatic of the kind of people who deliberately spread misinformation. Either because their mouths are bigger than their brains, or just because they’re utter c*nts.
