It is. One indicator is how often the troll falls back to some variant of, "it doesn't exist!" In this case it's being used quite a lot. An actual argument can explain away seemingly contrary problems without having to outright ignore them.

I've seen some of the more imaginative flat earther (trolls) try to explain things like why longitude is harder to figure than latitude or why long-distance great circle routes save miles. In rare cases the mental gymnastics can become amusing when you get one who has a good wit and doesn't keep falling back to the default "it's not real it's a conspiracy" refrain.

This thread has become so amazing. I never thought people like him actually existed, I always thought it was just trolling
Another highlight was linking a Forbes opinion piece by Alex Epstein. LOL my sides.

Lunch is over, see later pals.

As in someone you consider a friend. To their faces. In real life.

I did actually i told some surveyors to check the ocean shore line see if it's flat for miles. They already know that the answer is it is flat they've been surveying for a while. Elevations don't curve water doesn't curve. Optically where we live is measurably flat. There are settings on surveyor equipment gps to go into a curved mode if some sortbut that is just an algorithm to spit out the same answers. It's never used
