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. One of the goals of this wiki is to help bring this community together. It's okay to have different opinions and different theories - unlike modern Science, we just need to be clear on whether it's Fact or theory.

Let's just be thankful that there are many who spend time researching, looking for the truth, then sharing that research with us. Even if they are wrong this time around, I think we need to just be patient. If you knowthink this person is wrong, spamming the chat with "You're a shill", "liar", etc. doesn't help. What is helpful is sharing a resource worthy of researching to maybe help them realize a new truth.

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.
