Let me rephrase your question, which should make the answer clear:
> It's interesting how dissent in these round earth threads is downvoted to death. I wonder what sort of effect this has on the undecided?
- ggm 8y agoReasoning about the role of downvote, I would expect that it reduces the impact of this view on un-decided readers.
- calcifer 8y agoMy point is being "undecided" on climate change is no more reasonable than being undecided on a round earth or a heliocentric solar system.
- ggm 8y agoAgree.. I actually meant to reply to parent!
- yters 8y agoFor the ones who avoid downvoted comments I can see this resulting. For those who are curious and read a coherent dissent that has been seemingly censored it might have the opposite result.
- yters 8y agoIf they are undecided then downvoting of seemingly coherent responses might convince them the round earthers do not have the better argument, which would be unfortunate.
