    Mockery rests upon a false opinion and proclaims the imperfection of the mocker. Mockery is not an effective tool for improvement. Mockery is a form of hatred and sadness which can never be converted into joy. (Spinoza). Even if the flat earthers are misinformed, choosing mockery as a weapon really reflects back on you. I don’t expect you to get it though. You have proven yourself to be as misinformed as the flat earthers you mock. No matter how much you argue your point it has become obvious that you will never grasp the lesson of your professor Your 6 foot ladder is never going to get you to the top of a 2 story building.

      Mockery is an important tool when used as a form of derision and contempt. Beliefs that are harmful to society demand our contempt. If not, are you saying they demand our acceptance? If so, you are part of the problem and are part of why these false beliefs are growing.
      Because certain celebrity anti-vaxxers and flat earthers were derided, they woke up and later came out apologizing for their ignorance.
      I am not saying mocking them is the ONLY tool - just that it is a valid one. IF THE EMPEROR HAS NO CLOTHES, you don’t accept those that says he does.

            No worries man. Interesting discussion but yeah, I could tell that you you didn't really care what anyone else thought unless it was in line with what you came in with. Personally I'm not down with the name calling stuff but besides that... I don't care, that you don't care, that I don't care. See you in another post. It's an interesting site.

              It is indeed and interesting site. I'll admit that I already had my own mind made up on this, I wasn't seeking opinions to be open minded and all that, I just wanted to gauge how many people agreed with me lol.
