Let's face it: Not all flat earthers have the entire truth. In Fact, NONE of us have all the facts. This is the main reason this Wiki is call the True Earth Wiki rather than the Flat Earth Wiki - because, it's not about the shape, it's about finding the truth.
Even globers, physicists, scientists, doctors, and preachers don't all get along! There's multiple theories of how the universe works, there's doctors calling other doctors quacks, and there's hundreds of denominations of religions.
As you know, many of the things that make up the globe model have been debunked. Now all we want is the truth. We're not willing to listen to the same source for that truth. We're not interested in their new theories and supposed findings and new evidences - when they've been caught lying all along.

====Grifter====
A grifter is a con artist: someone who swindles people out of money through fraud. A grifter might be a pickpocket, a crooked gambler, or a scammer. Grift may have come from graft, a slightly older word meaning "to acquire dishonestly."
I had a aunt who donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to a TV evangelist who was "selling" God's blessings. I also have a grandmother who gave away all her money and reverse mortgaged her home, also totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars to be able to send a help an "in need" scammer and also to help this scammer to have the means "deliver" lottery winning to a lottery that she never even entered, meanwhile to call this scammer a son, and help him with his life and relationships - both financially and in prayer.
I've yet to see a flat earther demand payment for "blessings", and yet to find one even asking their viewers for money under threat. Yes, many have mentioned they would appreciate donations, and some even went so far as to tell the viewers that donations are their only means of income and any help will make further content possible.
It seems like being a flat earther, who makes a living with odd business opportunities, selling merchandise, and relying on donations from viewers - is seen as a con artist rather than self employed.
We never called the Rainbow vacuum cleaner guy a grifter or a shill, yet he went from door to door making statements that would inevitably make you feel that buying this vacuum is necessary or a good idea. One thing for sure, the salesman sure needed the sales, it is his livelihood.
I guess we can admire people for not having to "work for the man". Do we feel jealous, envious of this person? Is that the motivation for spreading hateful comments about this person? Maybe we just disagree with this person, and having their success rub salt in our proverbial wound.
Labeling people and causing division is a tactic of the globalist elite through the media and the education system. Let's not participate.
Even in the legal system there's several stages that must occur before Sentencing. The news broadcasts the arrest and shows many accusations. Almost everyone falls for the trap in participating in spreading hate and labeling. Sometimes these people are found guilty from a Trial, sometimes they are found innocent, yet all the labeling and hate was already spewed out of the NPC's watching TV.
====Shill====
A Shill is a '''person paid to endorse''' a product favorably, while pretending to be impartial.
