For the avoidance of doubt, I have opened this thread to secure an honest answer; To wit, is the Flat Earth Society real ?
Having ploughed through the threads here and on the 'other' FES website, I am coming to the conclusion that the boards amount to little more than an exercise in Empire Building; Occasionally, some topics appear as little more than a window for apparent 'great thinkers' to hurl insults and expound their peculiar brand of wisdom to people they feel have not looked into 'the blatantly obvious' lines of enquiry. I am beyond the days of "it was on TV so it must be true" and "everybody knows, it's obvious"; It would be good to find a few people who can think for themselves.
So; Is this Society real or is it another internet mosh pit ?
Serious replies only please.
Kind Regards.
