To me, the “defining feature” of a flat earther is accepting a false belief after it’s been amply demonstrated to you to be false.

This is still covered by my phrasing.

Yes. I'm saying my definition is a stricter subset of your definition, and that your definition is too broad because it includes literally everyone.

And I'm saying your definition is covered by my phrasing.

We are in agreement. But if you still don't agree with me, I don't think that makes you look like a flat earther. Cheers, gotta go make dinner!

Awful kind of you to offer, but I found my own food ;)

This makes you look like a flat earther.

No, you have resorted to ad hominin attacks in your discussion of flat earthers, which is a very flat earth thing to do. If your logic and ideas are insufficient to win people to your perspective personal attacks are a weak substitute.

You resorted to ad homien first you bridge dweller.

Does a bridge dweller live on the bridge, in the bridge, or under the bridge?
