@divegeester Freaky must be on vacation or something, hasn't moved for almost a year. I tried to see his form posts but was unable to pull any up. Anyone know what is going on with him?

I was referring to your comment about people living in reality, and poking fun at you because you frequently appear not to. I wasn’t calling you and a-hole or being under the influence of a “Freaky effect”. Whatever that is.

And I was referring to your comment that flat-earthers "don’t believe the earth is flat at all; for some it is an exercise in intellectual one-upmanship." You then called out FreakyKBH as being one of these.

I think my post was clear, even to you.

@suzianne said
So what was the consensus? Why DO people ignore reality?

@stellspalfie said
The main reason appeared to be a sense of belonging, being part of a community and a fear of loosing those connections seemed more important than the truth.

@divegeester said
FreakyKBH pretends that he believes the earth his flat, he doesn’t really believe it. I know this because as he claims to be a Christian I have asked him a number of times if, before his God, he truly believed it...he wouldn’t confirm it.

@suzianne said
So now you are the final arbiter on what people believe, or what people believably believe??

I've long thought him to be simply guilty of confirmation bias.

If he is Christian, that certainly does not rule out confirmation bias, in fact it seems more likely.

@SecondSon

Didn't you know he used to sing in an old pop group, one of their hit songs was
"Oh yes, I'm the great deflector'? Surprised you didn't know that bit of trivia.

And in your twisted mind you think saying that in a public forum is appropriate.

@secondson said
Thanks for that sonhouse. I'll take that into consideration.

@divegeester said
But calling posters an a-hole is ok??
