To skip the bullshit, the answer to your third question is already answered explicitly by me.
Yes.
100%.

Yeah, I already knew you'd say that, I kind of literally said it's not because they're thinner. You see the same thing with anything that has a significant 'vertical:horizontal' ratio of any kind. It's most obvious with 'tall' things rather than stout things, but all things disappear bottom-up if you watch carefully enough.

yes. 100% this is also seen with lampposts in the distance.

No, what I am saying is that when things get further away, it is the bottom that squashes, they don't equally shrink all-around. If you would yourself look into the distance as you walk at things far away, you'll notice people's legs and feet become much harder to see than their torso, this is not just because those are thinner, but because the actual blurriness and squashing is occuring lower down, it's how refraction of light works (especially when that light is coming from up top).

It doesn't move 'down' it moves away and appears to move 'down' because at a certain maximal point things 'squash' into the ground creating a forced horizon, I can give you other visual proofs of this effect (best seen on a sunny day where mirages help illustrate it at a closer distance).

Oh wow, you never lost a debate. Would you like a pat on the back?
I spread more joy by losing some debates than I would if I tryharded the shit out of every single one I entered. Also, tryharding would mean having less debates. Just stop this nonsense.

I am of course my own must-read poster. If I ever get a necroposted thread and notice my username I read it. I really am a great poster and even when I'm not, it's usually a worthwhile read seeing my booty get smacked in a flamewar (in hindsight, it's not so fun at the time).
Everyone else is a must-read poster in relation to how close or threatening they are to me.

Sure, I will happily do so as you're one of the few Round Earthers to ask that politely and straightforward rather than pretending it couldn't be happening.
So, first of all, please understand the following:
Yes, it's 8 minutes. Trust me when I say that in ratio of quality vs length, that's the best I could find in flat earth videos. It is a solid way to comprehend the illusion (this is also very important in understanding sunrise and sunset in a flat Earth model too).

I can buy a telescope, rent a ship, bring a friend to man the ship, and go to the nearest body of water to do my experiment. I am 100% capable of carrying out this experiment.Also, “seeing is believing”? What about illusions?
You are literally using an illusion that happens over great distances on flat surfaces, to 'prove that it is a sphere' and then calling the flat earthers the ones who are falling for an illusion.

No, you can't. It is called refraction of light over great distance.

Debating is great when your faith is blatant,
When you breathe dry air on fallacious grapes 'n' make raisins,
You know what else is amazing? When someone else starts praising,
When the votes gets made and your Rating's raked in,
But when I say literally that without losers here it would not be worth participating,
I'm not lying that's why I'm in love with losing at times, staying humble is a great thing.
See, without the wrong opinions this here'd be a long lost dominion,
You'd have a Bish in the number 1 spot intellectually raping his minions,
Virtuosos bein' no shows, busy in real life not stringent,
Madmen acting rational for 5 seconds flat before a sharp-horned Ram came blam and got a gang to hand an L to the mad rat; pussy's'd be winnin',
But no what we got's better, got a back-and-forth committment to never really quit; call it an intermission that's intermittent,
Hand a loss to another debater today, make it look like you tried; let 'em feel fulfilment,
Merry Christmas to you bitches, hope reading this series of wit gave your life encrichment.

Goliath was a brave beast who stood up to God, David was the cowered who had the fight rigged for him.
The story is told as if Goliath stood a chance and that it was David taking the risk but it's the total opposite way around. Goliath overcame many obstacles, with God hating him all along. That is real defiance and impressive strategic acumen.

Actually perception tells us quite the opposite, once you understand refraction of light.

to be clear, I am an avid fan of Nelson Mandela, but that quote was not really his own to make.

@Vader
“The greatest glory in living is not in falling, but in rising every time we fall.”
Firstly it is never falling because 'falling' is obviously not glorious.
Secondly, that was not a Mandela saying itself but an ancient Japanese adage that reads in English simply as 'fall seven times, stand up eight!'
Thirdly, the better thing to quote is the Bruce Lee version 'pray not for an easy life, but the strength to endure a difficult one.' a similar quote came from Kennedy speeches and it's a disputed who said it first but both actually got it from the Bible:
And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
- Romans 5:3-5

That you think spammed votes of "Kiss my goddamn ass" are how people should be voting, and are complaining of votes which rise to a higher quality.
I did the former to get a loophole in the rules patched. Even if I was morally inconsistent, it wouldn't matter. What you just wrote is incoherent; you said 'That', yet you probably meant to say 'It is very ironic that'... It still wouldn't in any shape or form have weight in defying what I said.

Actually Wales is the most extremely Brexit of the four, England and NI were equal in the original Brexit vote but NI has altered as it realised it will cause issues with its lack of borders with Ireland.

How about we clear up here and now who lies about who and who bullies who? You won't like the posts I link to as it will show the real you and how rude you were pre-mod. I don't lie about you, you lie about yourself and I am peaceful enough to let you do it. If you want to run around talking shit about me and not even having the guts to name me, best you be reminded who has the actual evidence of the other being a really disrespectful cyber bully before he thought he'd have a modship to defend against losing.

Dude, you are simply trying to turn me attacking Airmax into you going 'but you're worse, who are you to talk?' or 'where's your proof?'. I do not care what you say, everyone who knows me on here knows I do not fucking lie about important statements on matters ever. You can run around with your mafia mindset and lie to everyone like it's a game, this is not some playground bullshit but as it's an online forum you're free to pretend it is one, just leave the serious chat to people who know who to trust.
I wonder why Airmax isn't coming here and defending himself, can you ask him to when you talk about your saber music battle? He will end up slipping up in ways you can't slip up on his behalf. I will make him admit things and say sorry, you just haven't understood him yet. You don't even know how manipulative he was behind the scenes so you can't talk on the matter and you're demanding proof on another account's PMs on DDO or on a Hangouts chat here or there. I don't care what you think you know about him, you were nowhere near close enough to him as a person to know him well. Even if you met him IRL, you didn't know him. He wears a carefully constructed mask and very few see through, but I do.

You don't get it. He would never say that is why. Qopel, me and so many others. You didn't even pay attention to the website outside of the forums section so you didn't NOTICE how many he wrongly banned as you never got to know them. I watched and got sick of what I was seeing.This is just an outright lie. Find me where he banned anyone for having an "outlandish view". He was a huge advocate for freedom of speech. ADOL never got banned, and that dude loved sexing animals. lol.

Hugely dis-agree. It was clearly brought down by the spam. The site continued for years even with max as mod lol. It died because 1 man (airmax) was the only one with abilities to delete the spam, and it eventually became a second unpaid job for him to upkeep it. Juggle is the reason the site is dead.
No. That was not what took it down. There was spam for many years and he refused to even let anyone help him delete it because he is a megalomaniac who thinks he is the only means to justice (he honestly thinks this, I talked to him and got to know him in ways you other users didn't). He sees a system as either something he should give no shits about the justice of or otherwise one he should entirely control the justice of. I do not care what you say to defend or deflect, the site was already dead before the spam and everyone fucking knew it. People were already using the site less and less, Hangouts had died out. The only reason spam even could take the site down was BECAUSE the entire community around the website had split up pretty much into tiny factions (Bossy and Seventh, REF and Wylted etc etc)

This suggests it was a paid or wanted position. There is literally nothing to be gained from being a moderator except for if your a narcissist to like to control others, or you generally want to help. His lack of banning people as frequently demonstrates that he had little interest in exerting control.
He did ban frequently, you just didn't hear about it as he'd prey on members who weren't popular, usually in the polls and opinions section. He'd tend to just take PetersSmith's word for it and ban anyone she said was causing too much hassle.
He would never notify you when he banned, so how do you know he didn't? After Qopel his style changed and he learned to ban quietly.

Seriously this is how you think of another human being? Where has airmax ever talked to you about this way? The things you are saying are appearing to be more true about you than he.
It's easy to speak respectfully of someone you permanently banned and then blackmailed to stay away with doxxed info. Don't think for a single second he is a better person than me. Airmax would sell you out and laugh while doing it if he thought his public image would improve for it.

I've been doxxed, argued with, been in flame wars with many many people on debate.org
And I have no doubt that Airmax congratulated you on forgiving and forgetting such behaviour if the user who did it was remotely popular.

No, it's not a bit wacky at all. Airmax is and was a corrupt two-faced [expletives] and I do not give a damn what you say about him, it's the truth. He never earned his position, never moderated well enough to keep it and was a huge reason why DDO went down the pan, since he banned any eccentric member who debated from very outlandish views (except for the racist pedo debater Wylted) and kept only the ones that were socially adept enough to keep off of his radar.
Airmax is not sound in judgement at all, in fact to temp ban Bench 8-9 times while permanently banning users who were far less toxic is inexcusable. This guy was corruption embodied in a mod, the only reason he's not the worst of them all is he never abused his ability to dox and investigate people to too severe of a degree (he did use it though, and would intimidate you with it in private while acting so respectful of privacy otherwise)

Leftists are not idiots. I can categorically tell you that in my personal life, I have consistently noticed a brutal difference beween left and right wingers in intelligence. Even the most unlikable left-winger is usually medium in intelligence at a bare minimum.
Right Wing can't be the more intelligent wing, it assumes that being lazy in leadership will make your underlings be at their best.

I am not a fan of Ragnar but there is jo point debying that thia team is far better than Bsh1 and Virtuoso, who were far better than Airmax1227.
Airmax was seen as an idol even though he's one if the worst mods on the Internet. He was prone to do exactly what Lunatic suggested; to be lenient based on how bad a mafia game desired one's presence or harah baaed on how few wanted the user around. That's corruption and Airmax saw it as a good thing.
I am with Ethang on this. Good job mods.
