This is an interesting observation, since it completely contradicts what vocal supporters of FET say. Most groups are either not explicitly religious, or explicitly non-religious. One has to wonder whether there is a "silent majority" going on.

Imagine that you believed you had stolen from yourself, and someone told you it wasn't true. How would you answer them?
Please, let's try to stay on topic. Take it to PR&S.

I have no favourites, and no way of determining whether or not there are life-supporting conditions for them until humankind encounters them.
You also have no way of determining whether or not other flat planes exist out there.

Look at, for instance;

Fish
Plankton

Life forms which exist in environments that we humans would find alien.
I don't think any reasonable person would consider fish or plankton to be extraterrestrial beings. As such, your argument does not address AATW's assertion in any meaningful way.

Science & Alternative Science / Re: This Is How Perspective Works

I propose that we move this to Science & Alternative Science, and split most of the responses away to an Angry Ranting thread, since they just comprise RE'ers talking about how irrational they find Flat Earthers and how superior they consider themselves.
Since there were no objections to this, I am now moving/splitting the thread and locking it.

I see no reason why people like Pete and Tom can't moderate the Community and Media boards (2 and 4)to keep them neat and tidy. they won't be volatile boards. 
I already have a sheriff's badge, pardner.

That said, this seems to be a sensible direction. I fear that "Flat Earth Theory" will gobble up most of the traffic of the current top 3 boards, and that not much will change. Then again, perhaps the presence of the new boards will invite some additional contributions that we're currently not seeing. I'm cautiously optimistic.

3287
They will depend on the life form, surely?
That's okay - pick your favourite extraterrestrials. I'm just looking for an example to substantiate his point.

3288
conditions for life is not [universal]
Please provide a verifiable alternative set of conditions for life, one substantially different from that present on Earth.

3289
AATW, you are saying the same thing over and over. We've already heard it, and we've already disagreed. Please avoid posting content which does not contribute to the thread. Warned.

If there the rest of the objects in the observable universe are spherical. How come earth is flat
If there the rest of the objects in the observable universe are devoid of life. How come earth has humans on it

Your question is a silly one for many reasons, but let's start with the most obvious one. You don't know that all other bodies are round. Indeed, you know for a fact that not all are.

Flat Earth Theory / Re: Australia
« on: May 19, 2018, 07:49:04 AM »
How come some Flat Earthers think Australia isn real? Or is that one person?
"Australia doesn't exist" has been something of an inside joke among FE'ers for many years.

I suppose it is possible that someone does seriously believe it, but I find it highly unlikely.

We believe Australia isn't real because it isn't real.
Come on, Rushy, you're a mod. You can do better than that.

If this is not what one believes, might I ask, what is the Flat Earth belief based on?
What is the base fact that all flat earthers agree on that makes it seem real?
Much like with any other belief, this will vary from individual to individual. Any attempt at summing them up would be a misrepresentation.

it was indeed stolen from the other FE wiki.
There is no "other FE wiki" and nothing was "stolen". The state of the Wiki from before the split was used as a basis for the current version of it. Meanwhile, the pre-forked version was destroyed entirely.

Basically I love a different kind of freedom!
Taxation is theft, and theft is not freedom.

You just happen to love freedom a little less than last year
It's probably because I can never decide between the "strong" and not strong answers.

Flat Earth Community / Re: I’m new and need help!
« on: May 17, 2018, 10:24:08 AM »
If you have a question, please post it in a thread. There is no need for you to post a generic greeting message and wait for responses.

I'd strongly recommend familiarising yourself with the forum rules and the .

Locking.

Science & Alternative Science / Re: This Is How Perspective Works
« on: May 17, 2018, 09:07:28 AM »
I have to chime in, although probably not in the way you'd like me to. I'm wearing my dusted-off janitor outfit, you see.

Why is this thread in Flat Earth Debate? You are not debating anything, you're simply providing a statement of the RE model of perspective. I don't think anyone here is interested in telling RE'ers how their model does and doesn't work.

I understand why you want the content here, and, fair enough, if you plan using it in future debates then it's probably allowable. However, I propose that we move this to Science & Alternative Science, and split most of the responses away to an Angry Ranting thread, since they just comprise RE'ers talking about how irrational they find Flat Earthers and how superior they consider themselves.

Suggestions & Concerns / Re: favicons
« on: May 15, 2018, 08:32:26 PM »
Also I don't know if you can change the favicon on the cafe press shop, but that doesn't match either.
I believe that's impossible.

I'm surprised that you've seen the old favicon in the library - I was certain this would just match the homepage. I shall double check when I have a moment.

As for the other two, fair enough.

3298
I like where this is going - I'd certainly be on board with altering the homepage to change the tone slightly. The board structure will probably require some more discussion to make sure we get it right rather than just plunge into another suboptimal solution, but it could definitely happen!

3299
Perfect. That's the Flat Earth Media board I mentioned. :-)
Kind of but not completely. If you look at FEG's description, you'll also find that "conspiracy topics belong here". That's because the space flight conspiracy, while not strictly part of FET, will obviously warrant some discussion.

Basically, I agree with the idea, but I think the boards need more thought (you already expected that to be the case, so really I'm agreeing with you and throwing in some extra suggestions)

I don't really know what flat earth General is for either. It is a bit vague.
The understanding of that seems to have died over time, I'm not entirely sure why. Basically, it's the place you'd go to discuss the recent YouGov poll that determined 1/3 of millennials believe in FET, or the Economist article about the movement's growth in America. It's where you'd go to talk about the Flat Earth shop that opened in Scotland, or the little clashes we've had with Elon Musk and Neil DGT. Things that are very clearly related to FET, but which are not directly part of the debate.

I doubt it would be a very high-traffic board, but I do think its existence is justified.
