That really is ridiculous, some people just can't deal with views and opinions that differ from their own.
People who so vehemently disagree the idea of a flat earth annoy me just as much as people who vehemently disagree with the idea of a round earth. Everyone should feel free to have an opinion/belief that differs from somebody else and you should feel free to defend your opinion/belief but don't attack somebody over their beliefs, that's just silly. And, unfortunately, I really do see a lot more hate and vitriol coming from the round earthers.
I am with you on that @the-dagda I have been wrong and fooled so many times, one more is not going to hurt, and I am always skeptical about anything thesedays that I have just been told to swallow. Interesting you see more hate and vitriol coming from the traditionalists, that makes sense, when you hear of it before you research the theory, it just sounds so dumb and impossible, but that has actually even all been programmed in as our intitial response, its funny, we are all the same and we all respond the same its just some are more resistant than others
