but I don't think you understand the word.
Honey, I've already asked you to stop resorting to cheap personal attacks. It's cute that you consider foreigners to be "disabled", but try to take it down a notch.
What do you think the word "entitled" actually means?
I like the definition that pops up on Google, so I'll roll with it: believing oneself to be inherently deserving of privileges or special treatment.
A certain group of Round Earthers, very notably including andruszkow, are deeply convinced that their posts are more deserving of a response than those of anyone else. Everyone gets ignored sometimes, but when it happens to an entitled RE'er, they go out of their way to announce their objection to it. This is due to their extreme sense of entitlement, superiority, and a complete lack of humility.
Here's a thread that illustrates it quite well - http://forum.tfes.org/index.php?topic=3449.0 - note how upset he gets when he doesn't get what he wants.
I'm not targetting you at all. I'm simply approaching a certain type of entitled RE'ers, of which you happen to be a prominent example.
So harrassment, basically.
I don't know where you got that from, but I already explained this to you via PM: Once you stop acting like an entitled child, people will stop calling you out on it, and maybe they'll even treat you with respect.
Just to use your own terminology, it's cute that you try to publicly humiliate me based on a post that peaked after a long period of belittleling in previous posts. Do I need to pull out the whole "The notion of letting syrian refugees in" thread, where every attempt I tried to make showcasing humility and just a tad bit of humanity, were met with quoting my posts but altering what I wrote?
Skipping the fact completely that I'm not acting like a "entitled child", ultimately, you reap what you sow. The attitude you recieve from many a poster is often a result of your slightly unpleasant tone. I'm not using the term belittling loosely here.
Aside from that, let's say I act like an entitled "Round Earther", whatever that is supposed to mean. Through my many years in development, electronic engineering, and orbital mechanic studies, I've gathered enough practical experience to have been appointed as a single point of contact for various outreach and trauma programs. My role is to guide people in the right direction, and the group I'm handling are specifically for those with an interest in engineering, development, or astronomy. A lot of those people are Afghanistan veterans, people with a history of mental disorders, and in general, people with somewhat unfortunate destinies. They all share a common mindset:
"We don't know what to believe anymore".
Just as an example, the Afghanistan veterans suffering from PTSD or just a general emptiness basically say the same thing: We spent 1 tour or several tours carrying out orders to fit a master plan not transparent to us. A normal day in Afghanistan was driving around for 12 hours a day, scouting or escorting personel for the bigger part of that group. This included, but was not limited to, stepping out of their vehicle in the middle of nowhere, picking up bodyparts and cleaning up in general, when their friends hit IED's etc. They come home to nothing. No action, no future, and certainly not mental stability.
These guys are super vulnerable. While they're considering their lifes, including the consideration of ending it, they're reflecting over people they've shot, friends they've lost, or the frustration of not seeing the fight for getting women and children of Helman a decent life being a success. Their belief system is chaotic. This also makes them manipulable in terms of taking in the often more alternative explanations to the reality we all share. This includes believing in the flat earth as well. And this is only the Afghanistan veterans.
Some fight for humanity by helping out homeless people. Some travel to Africa as volunteers. We all have our own definitions of what's the right thing to do, and at the same time, we're not all capable of reaching out in certain ways. For instance, I could never travel to Africa during an Ebola outbreak. I'm not built for that. I am very good at communicating and teaching though, which is why delivering correct information is alpha omega. This is how it should be for everybody.
So on that notion: Yes, I'm damn flipping entitled as a "Round Earther" to demand that you're being honest about what you do. I'm entitled to demand that whatever results and theories you pass around are thoroughly tested. So far, Flat Earth Theory is just a small-scale phenomena existing digitally, presenting a reality built on a theory, instead of a theory built on reality. It might seem small and innocent to you, but the ramifications of this level of misinformation, or at least, information lacking any credible sources, trials, and independent reviewing has huge implications and consequences to the lesser fortunate part of our western society. Basic psychology suggests that when people have taken a negative stance, there's an 80% likelihood it will never change. If you construct your reality around a theory, you will always be wrong, if the theory is wrong. That theory might get passed to the next in line, which introduces indoctrination.
So yes, for certain things concerning what this debate is about, I am entitled. People can believe what they want, but when you as an institution or a society of likeminded people try to reach out to the general public, deliberately creating a huge disbelief in established systems, you have the
responsibility to ensure that it's done right. That goes even if you're trolling or if you actually believe the ideas you spread.
