[i I'm getting rather peeved with the typical unprovoked vitriolic ad hominem name calling within this thread which is being liberally conversed by two particular posters constantly without any warnings or attempts of discouraging this behaviour.Without delving into other threads just this thread alone has a plethora of their vitriolic abuse here is a sample of their typical postings. Here is a compilation of these vile posts. If this isn't trolling i don't know what is. [/i

[iSo. Theres proof of a poster Trolling with what looks like he's got an emotional childish playground grudge against me. I've counted 4 x legitimate posts he's contributed in this thread where vitriolic ad hominem remarks haven't been made.[/i

Heres the other culprit who abuses in most exchanges. He is supposed to be trying to set an example having the status of a moderator. This is just for this thread alone:[/i

This is lunacy if the highest order, yet you can't see it!

=#BF0000[uNot at all.

=#800000[uThis actually illustrates very well why you are so gullible.

=#BF0000[uIt doesn't matter if a hoax proponent is a troll, delusional, mad or just brainwashed and gullible[/u, if their ramblings go unchallenged then someone will read it and of these, some, having had exposure to hardly 1% science at school, risk being sucked in to the madness.

So there you go. This is just the tip of the iceberg if you take in other threads into account. But this is just this thread alone. I may have a varied view of the world than most people but does it deserve the above ad hominem. I may have slipped up and made certain jibes back in retaliation at some point but never on the above scale. I've also been accused of being a troll but i've not abused anyone like the above posters have in this thread. Sticks n stones i can take all day maybe but it doesn't make pretty reading and the culprits look the like the very words they're insinuating sadly. Me a troll.[/i

[/i
[iSo hang your heads in shame. I've never insulted you in a brain capacity. You insult with brain accusations in every other word. Oh and thanks for reminding everyone that i don't argue. Hahahaha as highlighted. Its you two what instigate trouble. Period.[/i

I'd love to go over and cut and paste all of your abuse, but I'm not that interested in showing something that everyone already knows.

I find it interesting that most of the quotes you've quoted from me are a little bit feeble on the personal attack stakes.

'like he was made of anti-rational teflon. blinkered judgement and deflect reality. You just can't resist letting your little fingers tap out fantasies. slander is when someone damages your reputation. you've got a sado-masochist streak. Crazy beliefs.'

Some that are regarding other people and things entirely...

'If you've got a sado-masochist streak you could search back over the couple of large threads that contain his ramblings to see it for yourself. It seems that in a lot of cases modern technology and knowledge, rather than make a lot of people smarter and more aware, is actually making them dumber. He has to fit everything else under this core belief. Nothing can undermine it, no matter how obvious. He has to go to incredible lengths to make everything squeeze into this core belief to the point that he probably can't keep track of all the inconsistencies. The stupid thing is, he can still believe in God and what the modern world tells him. Like ISIS, it's his unwavering belief in literal interpretation that causes the problems. but if enough people adopt those crazy beliefs they start to influence policy and progress in society. Retarding it at the least. I think he's a good example of someone who thinks they think critically but is fundamentally dishonest with themselves. If anyone needs to see a prophetic bit of cinema, check out Idiocracy.'

Calling you RLFans Village Idiot was a personal dig, I'll grant you that one. But the truth is the truth eh?

[iI never call anyone with brain accusations. Bore off

[/i

I'll give you one thing, Stan. You are a world-class swerver. First-class avoider.

You love to concentrate on this piffling 'ad hom' nonsense to deflect from peoples questions. When you do answer it's smarmy, abusive and evasive. When further questioned you simply ignore it.

So very insecure.

I've never accused you of having one, is that the problem, Stan?

[i
What about you changing the subject when Timmy the Actornaught was caught faking the ISS. You changed the debate to a shape of the earth debate.

Why aren't you at the game anyway? Don't tell me you're skiving at work again boring me to death.[/i

Hanging around on the david icke forums does not equate to research im afraid. To be honest though, compared to the idiots on there, you are quite normal

I'm still here, are you?

The power of satellites eh?

That's because he wasn't faking it, and you were told why numerous times but failed to prove otherwise. Your blinkered and yet arrogant replies are pretty amazing though, if not for their incredible stupidity.

Wow 50 pages later and still the same lunatic ramblings followed by insults! It's better than TV this!


Toe-curlingly cringeworthy but fascinating in parts.

I'm still concerned about his child.

Dear Mr. Flat Stanley,

You have never replied to any of my previous questions.

I would like to ask, what are you seeking to achieve with your postings?

Many thanks,

Sandro IL Terrorista.

He wants to show that one largely insignificant man in the 21st century can prove the Earth is flat with evidence from YouTube videos. Forget the space agencies, forget science, forget logic, forget mathematics, forget years of hard work, YouTube is where the truth can really be found.

Rubbish, and you know it. All we ever do is ask you to consider questions, and all you ever di is fail to answer.

Your current kneejerk of instead wailing on with copious cut'n'pastes to show how put-upon you are is just your latest smokescreen, to avoid having to consider let alone answer questions which you refuse to think about.

But, I am a petient enough sort of chap, and so let me repeat the question you've been swerving for weeks:

If the Earth is flat, why does the moon look upside down from Australia?

At this stage, I now know that you have no answer for this. You still have to stick to your group delusion that the Earth is not a globe, though, and so you do, even though this simple question cannot be answered if the Earth really was flat.

What you did do was (surprise surprise) link to yet another piece of YT drivel. On this occasion I did you the courtesy of watching it although I was not surprised to see that it was by a person who is either pretty stupid, so doesn't understand the question, or else is a deliberate attempt to provide those with weak brains and limited analytical faculties with fake "ammunition".

Let me tell the audience what your video link shows. It shows a flat plate with a picture hanging from a ceiling. It then demonstrates that if you go to one end of the room and look back at the picture, the top of the person's head is, from your perspective, to your left.

And if you go to the other end of the room, the top of the person's head is, from your perspective, to your right.

And this, the author risibly claims to think, is "the answer"!



The flat plate is a cylinder. The image is on the bottom of the cylinder. The effect you would need is to be able to see the TOP of the flat plate, i.e. invert the plate so the image is on the TOP side and we could see the BOTTOM side.

This obviously does not happen.

If a giant were to take a massive replica of that plate to the Moon, and affix it to what we perceive as the "bottom" of the Moon, then people in Australia would see this replica plate as being, from their perspective, at the "top" of the moon.

That is the effect you need to be able to explain, Stan. And I know it drives you mad that you can't. So there you go. You are on your own. Your link is exposed for arrant and childish half-baked nonsense.

Do you agree, or have you got a different explanation now that I've exposed the previous bunkum?

On the subject of moons.

Surely in Stan's world, every moon would be a full moon as there'd be nothing to block out the sun's light? Unless the sun was underneath the disk, but how could it be, because there's always a part of the Earth in sunlight.

Think about the crescents - what's causing that shadow? And if it isn't the Earth, then what is it?

Also, on daylight.

Each hemisphere has longer days in it's Summer. So if we take the Northern Hemisphere as being the 'middle' of Stan's disk world, and the Southern being the outer bit, then over the course of a year, the orbit of the sun within the Earth's firmament will move outwards and inwards?

Surely the Southern Hemisphere Summer, Australians would see the sun effectively shooting across the sky at a ridiculous speed as to get round the whole circumference of the disk in a day?

[iGee Whiz, I'm in demand. Vexing posts about me when i'm here, and when i'm not here.... Obsessed or what.If i was to respond to all the obsessive posts it'd take me ages. I''ll try to reply in due course, all posts which contain a flex and vex ad hominem nature will be ignored from now on. due to me being in such high demand.

[iI'm not trying to achieve anything honestly. Most conversations i have especially on this thread are instigated by two obvious obsessed tag teaming ambushers who vex their cranial insults in most sentences. How can you debate with such childlike behaviour, Yeah sometimes i bite back in retaliation but i'm never vitriolic and use brain insulting comments. I may have a varied outlook on life but does it deserve or warrant this Ad Hom abuse. No it certainly doesn't.So from now all posts asking for my views which contain, Ad Hom, vitriol, and taking the piece, will be ignored. Simples. So the answer to your question i want to achieve in not conversing with obsessed persona insulting reprobates.[/i

So you can't explain why the Moon looks upside down from Australia, then.

[iI'm not trying to prove the Earth is flat, it is flat. I'm proving that we don't live on a spinning ball. Try trusting your perceptions. I can instantly remember you showing me your Concorde pictures with a beautiful flat straight horizon from 50.000 feet. Curvature doesn't exist and this is what your perceptions tell you. Start trusting your God given senses. A spade is a spade. Forget, science, maths, logic. and hard work, blinking heck.

Remember folks, that an actual Adult just posted that.

Genuine question Stan... why would a compass point towards the North Pole if the Earth is flat? How does a compass work at all on a Flat Earth? Does it just point towards the centre?
