All discussion of those topics is to be kept in that subforum ONLY.
https://www.cathinfo.com/the-earth-god-made-flat-earth-geocentrism/
For some people, it's their favorite, main, or even only topic they wish to discuss.
For others, even 1 thread about "flat earth" is 1 too many.
I don't see any reason at all to ban discussions arbitrarily about scientific, historical, or secular matters. I'm not a Jєω, and we're not talking about the h0Ɩ0cαųst!
So as a compromise, I'm cleaning up the other subfora and putting all Flat Earth discussion in ONE PLACE. Both for their convenience, as well as the other members who want none of it.
Matthew
P.S. No, I have not moved ALL the threads into the new subforum yet. I do have a full time job, you know. Moving FE threads would be another full time job! hahaha

That might mean putting ALL the topics in the subfora since "they" seem to be successful at getting that subject someone interjected into ALL topics.

The above quote stood out for me.
Those who do not want any discussion of FE remind me of Jєωs and their non-Jєω supporters who do not want any discussion which questions the h0Ɩ0cαųst. I know that this is not what Matthew is inferring at all - it's just my opinion.

A small defeat for flat earthers.
However this issue is by no means going away. It is growing among traditional Catholics rapidly, and won't be stopped by simply putting it into a sub forum.

I think this is a huge win for flat earthers on CathInfo.com. Many people will witness the lack of self control from globe earthers in the new subforum. How do I know this; you will have to find out. :D ;) :popcorn: :applause: :incense:

We are converting the globe earthers. :applause: :incense:

Yes, Baal worship is Satanism but remember even Satan knows the truth!
I doubt you can prove Baal even cares or thinks what shape the earth is.
I notice you like to bring into the conversation any and all false worships around the world.
I think it likely that the devil is behind the secular humanist anti-religious agenda that is prevalent in the world today. The globe-earth agenda has been part of the secular humanist anti-religion agenda for awhile now.

Really? Why is that? You don't want me to have the "true Gospel" according to you?
Oh wait, maybe it's because I've "got you on the run" or I'm "troubling your conscience"?
Gonna clap like a lookie-loo at a golf tournament for me?
You still don't/won't get it do you? You still won't/don't see that someone can take exception to the manner in which something is approached even to the exclusion of the subject matter itself.
What none of you seem to get is that none of you have provided enough warrant for a serious re/investigation of the subject; this is something that should occur before actual investigation of some topics.
Hypothetically speaking this could change, in which case I would then at least have warrant to look into the matter, if not an outright obligation to do so.
Additionally, things like FEism make a nice Crit-think chew toy when, for example, one's not up for weightier subjects.
So maybe I'll :see" you around the ball pit, where the colored spheres belong.

You only have an interest in heckling...and rarely have anything to say that's appropriate to the subject.
-
Where is the subforum? Does it actually exist?
I can see it and post there.
I sent Matthew a message about the possible error in the settings.
-
Great, somebody's gonna take it as a sign from Heaven.
-
Apparently, this new forum :jumping2: has become a private forum that only mods can see.
Could the subforum become a private forum?
You're in excellent form, Maria Regina! Must be all that exercise.

... and no, that isn't "shame" and no, it shouldn't be at least in this instance on my part.
Can you answer the question please?

All topics being discussed are on main feed page/recent topics, so not too hard for me to locate FE here

Whoo-hoo![×]
<https://www.cathinfo.com/the-earth-god-made-flat-earth-geocentrism/ (https://www.cathinfo.com/the-earth-god-made-flat-earth-geocentrism/)>.
Still some issues with the implementation, it appears:
An Error Has Occurred!
The topic or board you are looking for appears to be either missing or off limits to you.
This is a tragedy!
But while it's useless for CathInfo readers to bookmark that subforum, allowing revision of its URL, what's with these SMF topic URLs that stretch to obnoxious lengths by retaining noise words like "the" (and their separators "-"), which practically never affect the sense of the URL, and which are omitted according to prevailing programming customs?
I remember the MercuryBoard implementation of CathInfo failing to include significant numbers expressed in digits, and some words critical to the sense of the topic, e.g., "no" and "not" and negative contractions, but SMF goes waaay too far in the opposite direction.
Which reminds me: Why does the new URL contain needless redundancy, i.e., 2 instances of the word "earth"?

Patience.
It's created as a child forum under "Fighting Errors", but this is the first subforum created since moving to the new software and it clearly isn't working as expected. Troubleshooting takes much more time and the only programmer around here isn't presently available.
I doubt the shape of the planet will change much while you're waiting.

Why is it in a "child forum?"
-
I think that's what the software calls it. A section within another subforum ... like the "Buy Sell Trade" under General Discussion.

So there isn't any control over what the software decides to call a subforum?

No, not unless you have lots of time on your hands. It's only referenced like that in the admin settings. The name of the forum is "The Earth God Made".

Okay, thanks.

I fixed it.
For future reference (for myself):
There's
1 = Male
2 = Female
3 = Either
This new board was set to "0"...
'twas a simple fix, once I looked at the database behind the scenes.

Flat earth seems be causing a few problems.

A "child forum"?
.
.
What is that supposed to mean?
.
.
Nvm, I see what it means now. What an unfortunate bit of "terminology." Oh well.
-
WOW: 2899 posts.
.
.
And that's only your recent threads.
.
.
Sneer, if you will, at your flat earth members, but it seems to me they are responsible for a large part of your traffic at CI under the circuмstances.
-

.
It's not capable of causing any real problems, but it certainly does make particular Catholics look stupid.
.
Anyone can see by observing the moon that the earth isn't "flat." It's not rocket science.
.
The next time earth gets pounded with a big CME all the flat-earthers will have to come up with hundreds of crazy explanations.
.
Like the hundreds of conflicting fables they've dreamed up already about what the sun is, what the moon is and the time zones.
.
-

.
For someone ostensibly reliant on Scripture it's super strange you'd have a problem with being relegated to a "child forum."
.
Maybe you don't really pay that much attention to what Scripture says after all.
.
Your feigned reverence for Holy Writ is just for appearances, eh?

I can't believe TWO members were so defensive as to take offense at what the software (SimpleMachines, probably the largest and most popular free open-source message board software in 2017) calls a subforum ("child board")
As a programmer, I use the term parent/child literally every day to refer to an object which is part of, or belongs to, another object. It's a neutral, unoffensive computer term.
Need I point out that this software has been used on CathInfo since Lent of this year? From the very beginning, we have had SEVERAL "child boards" and no one took offense to the term. But as soon as Flat Earth is placed in a "child board", watch out!
It shows how much you've been fighting (or enjoy fighting?) when you're that trigger happy, let me tell you! You're like a Vietnam vet who has flashbacks, PTSD, and/or has to sleep with the lights on.
Or like something out of a comedy -- a military nut who accidentally blows a big hole in his front door just because a stray cat startled him. People laugh AT such types!
-
I agree, it's quite comical.

Yes, you need to point it. Why? Because obviously I never noticed it before. So what?
.
.
After receiving daily insults on this board for being a believer in the Biblical flat earth, it should be no surprise that I would assume we are being relegated to an area whose name resembles an insult.
.
.
You'd probably get a little trigger happy too if you were being told how stupid you are here EVERY. DAY.

Well said. Though most Catholics believed in a flat earth for 3/4ths of the Church's history (until the 1500's) we are told that we are "stupid" and "liars" for believing in what Catholics traditionally believed for a very long time.
If there were no precedent for believing in a flat earth in the Catholic Church, then maybe the accusers would have a point. But that's not the case. There is a precedent.
-
Indeed.
.
.
I might expect to receive insults from non-believers.
.
.
But it's inexcusable the heinous way flat earthers are treated by their fellow Catholics.

Exactly.
And what's also inexcusable is when the nasty accusers pretend that they are being charitable and serious when they ask a question, when really they just want to twist the words of the flat earthers when they get a sincere response from a flat earther. This type of diabolical behavior is a sin against the 8th commandment. Shame on them.

So, so Jєω.
What, are we going to get a movie about how we gassed you all to death then incinerated you while juggling babies on bayonets next?
Top marks on the victim-hood.
Who's pooping diamonds?

Who's pooping diamonds?
Gee, I don't know about diamonds, but I know a trace amount of gold goes into my toilet bowl every day! There was an article some time ago stating that scientist were hoping to come up with a way to harvest it, but it's definitely uneconomical to do. Some vegetables also contain small traces of gold. I also knew a family with relatives in Alaska who's chickens' eggs sparkled from the gold in the dirt/grit they would eat, so it's certainly true.
I sometimes like to point out that my s*** is worth more then some peoples words. It makes a good laugh for folks.
How much gold/money have we each individually flushed over our life spans???

As a programmer, I use the term parent/ child literally every day to refer to an object which is part of, or belongs to, another object. It's a neutral [...] computer term.
Just looking in what I have in my bookcases [†], I can find the centuries-established English word "child" [‡], meaning, i.a., a "descendant", used as a "computer term" in the phrase "child process", in the 1984 computing cult-classic by Brian W. Kernighan & Rob Pike: The UNIX Programming Environment (p. 35, with detail on p. 222). That dates back 33 years, which I suspect was before some of CathInfo's Flat-Earthers, especially those posting in text-message style, were even born!
It's a [...] unoffensive computer term.
Or it should be so. Either inoffensive, which would be the customary adjactive, but recognizing that the uncustomary "unoffensive" (as quoted) indicates a neutral instead of a contrary sense. In what was plainly a computing context, it never occurred to me to react to either alternative in any other way.
Ironically, it was the indignation expressed by C.I.'s Flat-Earth snowflakes which drew my attention to them long enough for me to recall the phrase "children's table", with its self-evident meaning, from seating assignments for the festive dinner that's central to such U.S. holidays as Thanksgiving. Hmmm.
-------
Note †: "In my bookcases" as distinct from even-older published works boxed-up in off-site storage. Whence I could retrieve the even more broadly recognized 1968 computing classic by Donald Knuth: The Art of Computer Programming (TAOCP) Vol. 1: Fundamental Algorithms, 1st edition, xxi+634pp. That dates back 49 years. Altho' Knuth might've used the analogous set of Germanic terms "father", "son", and "brother", or the set of Latinate "ancestor" and "descendant" plus the Anglosaxon "sibling".
Note ‡: Anglosaxon "cild", where A.S. "c" is pronounced approximately as the "ch" in modern-Eng. "church".

God created the flat earth. It won't take you too long too see how the Baal Globe earthers react to their crumbling world-view.

I am on the firm flat earth foundation and so are you, you are figuring this out.
