I would expect it to be the case as you explicitly stated that your opinion can be found in newspapers. And, as evidenced by the Boston Globe article showing up, Google understands my inquiry.
But don't worry -- searching "Pete Svarrior" on its own does pull up more results. Two of them. One from the LAD Bible, whatver that is, and one from Buzzfeed. Neither of which are newspapers. I think, at least. I am not sure what sort of news source the LAD Bible is.
Hey, you're making progress. Keep it up! You may yet reach the IBT.
It's you (plural) who are clinging to an untenable position.
Yeah, yeah, you think we're wrong. Brilliant.
What is the point of these boards though? Is it to educate us poor sap REtards? Is it to debate the FE model amongst yourselves?
See, this is the issue here. You lot are trying to tell us how to do our thing, but you don't even know what our thing
is. So once more for those in the back row: The Flat Earth Society exists to popularise and promote the Flat Earth Theory worldwide, as well as document and archive its history. These are tasks we're doing very well at (don't take it from me, take it from
The Economist, for a quick example), regardless of your strong opinions to the contrary. Some of us take it one step further and promote a particularly far-reaching form of scepticism/Zeteticism, one which very strongly relies on personal experiences and empiricism.
We have little interest in educating people against their will. There are plenty of those who wish to learn, or have a rational discussion.
This forum, specifically, exists as a place for like-minded individuals to meet and talk about the Flat Earth, or anything else they'd like to, really. Again, if you filter out Youtube/Reddit "sceptics" who come here to marvel at just how strongly they disagree with us (What a pastime!) or to demand answers to questions they could have simply Googled, this works rather well. We don't much mind your
presence so long as you behave, but most of us also have very little interest in
catering to you.
You yourself have stated you have no idea how much it's grown.
That's a particularly selective description of my position. It is very difficult to gauge the numbers, and even more difficult to speak about them publicly, given how many people wish to remain anonymous out of fear for their safety. It is, however, easily proven that we're growing, and that this growth is accelerating.
There was a rather idiotic post in the other forums about how many FE believers there are now based on Google search results or something, which clearly has no basis in evidence.
Either you're referring to my Google Analytics post explaining that our site is becoming more and more prominent over time (which has nothing to do with how you described it), or you're trying to get me to defend some random person's claims (which I have no interest in).
I've seen, well frankly close to zero new FE believers in the course of the last year, counting BOTH sites.
That sounds like a personal problem. You also senselessly assume that every new Flat Earther will come to this forum to rant and rave about it.
