Flat earthers aren't real. Even the ones claiming to be are just making a show

    It started out as a debating group, working with an obviously idiotic concept. Unfortunately it ended up attracting enough idiots who actually believed them that it drove/scared off the original debaters.

    It's a fascinating phenomenon, quite akin to religious indoctrination.

    This is my plan if I ever meet one - Just absolutely deny that they believe it themselves.

    Since the whole game is "I'm better than the masses because I claim to have secret knowledge" I'll just deny that claim.

    Probably along the lines of "Flat earth was maybe worth a small chuckle in 2006 but the joke is really old and played out now."
