I suspect that Matthew does not read anything in the Flat Earth subforum.  In that case, if anything worthy of banning happens here, Matthew won't know unless people inform him of it.

Have you ever complained to Matthew about the flat-earthers here?

I am not a scientist so this might sound silly.   If the round earth is in space who can say what is up and what is down?

.
Anywhere in outer space, "down" is toward the planet Earth, and "up" is away from planet Earth, because "up and down" is an earth-centered principle, and therefore without Earth these words lose their context.
.
One could argue about an astronaut standing on the moon or some other planet and speaking of "up" or "down" as if in context of being on that other large body of matter not the earth. Well, we are not on such a planet or moon so we don't have to be concerned with that. Some say we'll never be on such a place, so it's a matter of science fiction, practically speaking. 
.
Therefore Earth remains the central figure of what "up" and "down" means.

Have you ever complained to Matthew about the flat-earthers here?

.
Few members have been the subject of as many complaints as the flat-earthers have, like you, Meg, actually, that's why the child forum was established, to attempt to control the volume and frequency of complaints.

Jayne,

Since you did not respond to the question, I have to assume that you have complained to Matthew about flat-earthers. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Funny thing is, I had wondered if you had been complaining, even before you wrote that post saying that people should complain about certain posters. Complaining is a Jєωιѕн thing to do.

BTW, I have never complained to Matthew about the globe-earthers here. That would be a whiney-baby thing to do.

Jayne,

Since you did not respond to the question, I have to assume that you have complained to Matthew about flat-earthers. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

The last time I responded to one of your questions, you told me you weren't interested in my answers.  I therefore decided not to do it any more.  You assume far too much about a great many things.

[Meg]

That's fine. I already know the answer. 

[Jaynek]

That's fine. I already know the answer.

Just like you "know" the earth is flat.  

[Ladislaus]

BTW, I have never complained to Matthew about the globe-earthers here. That would be a whiney-baby thing to do.

Plus, you know that would not get you anywhere.

[Meg]

No, that's not the reason. 

I'm not a coward. That's the reason.

I agree.  He's very trollish in his forum behavior.  I believe he should be banned.  Not for his advocacy of flat earth but because of his overall behavior and attitude.  I had hoped that the more reasonable of the flat earth proponents would disavow him and distance themselves from him, but they won't do that because they consider him an ally of sorts.

[Ladislaus]

No, that's not the reason.

I'm not a coward. That's the reason.

No, I was not suggesting that, but that you know it would be a complete and total waste of time to complain to Matthew.  That would be like complaining to him about someone posting material from Bishop Williamson.

It never occurred to me to complain to Matthew about globe-earthers. Do you think I'm lying?

We're OBVIOUSLY speaking hypothetically as evidenced by the "would be" in your statement:  "That would be a whiney-baby thing to do."

That's a yes.
