There is a lot of misinformation that gets posted. There is nothing wrong with that. It gives the opportunity to present evidence and show flaws in both sides of the argument. It presents a learning opportunity for many.
Its better to have misinformation that gets debated than censored.
I've seen a few flat earth posts, but its not like they litter the boards. More disturbing are the constant posts of "evidence" that the virus doesn't exist imo. I keep trying to provide evidence and arguments why these posts are not credible, but like Whack O' Mole another keeps popping up, usually from the same source.
For example, the Dr. Derek Knauss video. OMG, so frustrating. He makes a bunch of statements that sound exactly like fear porn, a few of which are bad biology, but most of which are just simply unprovable without actual evidence. I keep asking people to show me how that individual exists at all must less actual evidence that anything he says can be validated.
Yet they keep popping up, as if the actor playing the fictional character Dr. Knauss was God's gift to biology.
Bring on the Flat Earthers, they are a nice distraction.
Again, discrediting by association isnt something GAW needs. We have enough hard yruths to make people swallow, so this to me is a deliberate attack on this forum
If someone wants to discredit us, all they have to do is open any post. The debates will include a lot of misinformation that is easily disproven. The stuff like flat-earth is just more misinformation (or more likely disinformation). it falls into the same category, even if its more obtuse. Even within posts that are not mis/disinformation it is trivial to take a quote out of context to "prove" whatever someone wants to prove.
We can't worry about what others think. We can't walk on eggshells. I suggest we let debate and evidence be our guide. While some censorship is necessary (or it could be a shit show) I think we should err on the side of not censoring whenever something is questionable.
Not on this one mate, too many holes, and too much tie in to the cabal: https://flatearthdeception.com/
