And did I say you were a nut case? No, I said that if you go around denying (or debating, which in this use seems practically synonymous), then that would make you a nut case. Does anyone but a nut case go around claiming that the Earth is not* a sphere?

*Approximately, of course, which is a practical comment on models and their accuracy. Modelling the Earth as flat is wrong, modelling it as a perfect sphere is also wrong, but it's close enough to truth to be useful for many purposes.
