Regarding the "snarky" comment about the Flat Earth Society, it was a reference to the quip President Obama made the other day in his speech at Georgetown University, which I thought was a most fitting rebuttal to your wacky claims. I'm sorry if you were offended, but if you come into a forum spouting such drivel you can hardly expect to be treated with kid gloves. Please note that my comments are aimed at your statements, not at you as a person.

See, there you go again using inflammatory and derogatory words, in this case 'drivel'. It's drivel only because you and a group of your pals have decided it was drivel. There's thousands of scientists and politicians that disagree with you. But disagreement and honest discussion can't be done. Your way is the only right way--which again is a very narrow minded way of looking at things. And yes, I can be expected to be treated with some common courtesy no matter what my viewpoints might be. Stick to the facts and leave the insults out of things unless you want the same sort of mud to be thrown back at you!
