Is there a schism in the Flat Earth community about which pole is a point and which is a circle?

- OJFord 6y agoWell presumably there's no accepted concept of a 'pole'. (If there were, yes I'm sure the Antarctican Flat Earth community is adamant it is the inverse of the above link..!) But, generalising, 'where is the centre', I don't know. Back in the day they presumably didn't claim to know, because obviously nobody had reached the edge, so there was just known area, and unknown beyond it, in every direction.
- arethuza 6y agoThe Charlie Stross story "Missile Gap" has a literal flat Earth and just that "and unknown beyond it, in every direction"... The 'Earth' there definitely doesn't have poles.
