Tards (http://www.alaska.net/~clund/e_djublonskopf/Flatearthsociety.htm)
This is my favorite passage:
A second critical piece to the Efimovich model is that the Earth is not the center of the solar system either. It is, according to "round Earth" theory, orbiting the sun at a radius of around five-hundred million kilometers. Were this the case, the Earth would be an accelerated object in circular motion around its sun. And thereby are the problems introduced. The Earth accelerating in circular motion would behave no differently than would a car taking a corner: loose objects (humans and animals would act like loose change or a cup of coffee on the dashboard) would slide around, or be thrown off completely. There would be an apparent centrifugal force on everything. During the day, when things would be facing the sun and therefore on the inside of the "orbit", buildings would be crushed and humans beings squashed like grasshoppers in a centrifuge. And at night, when everything would be at the outside, trees and buildings would be ripped from the ground and flung into outer space, and humans wouldn't stand a chance. Obviously, there is a flaw in Efimovich's "orbit" theory.

They are serious too!
The Flat Earth Society is not in any way responsible for the failure of the French to repel the Germans at the Maginot Line during WWII. Nor is the Flat Earth Society responsible for the recent yeti sightings outside the Vatican, or for the unfortunate enslavement of the Nabisco Inc. factory employees by a rogue hamster insurrectionist group. Furthermore, we are not responsible for the loss of one or more of the following, which may possibly occur as the result of exposing one's self to the dogmatic and dangerously subversive statements made within: life, limb, vision, Francois Mitterand, hearing, taste, smell, touch, thumb, Aunt Mildred, citizenship, spleen, bedrock, cloves, I Love Lucy reruns, toaster, pine derby racer, toy duck, antelope, horseradish, prosthetic ankle, double-cheeseburger, tin foil, limestone, watermelon-scented air freshner, sanity, paprika, German to Pig Latin dictionary, dish towel, pet Chihuahua, pogo stick, Golf Digest subscription, floor tile, upper torso or halibut.

This is their disclaimer. It is pretty good too.

Well, Dowding, you just have to try to set aside your preconceptions and look at their arguments in a fresh way. Some of them make good sense.
The "Tsunami of evidence" is a misleading thing - just because everybody repeats the same scientific "fact", it does not become more valid than the idea that few know. Scientific truths are not determined by majority vote.
People were known to make mistakes on a mass scale. Some even try to stretch truth and come up with convoluted explanations when the reality does not meet their expectations. When Morley and Michelson could not detect Earth movement, they did not dare to challenge the prevailing view and alternative explanation was devised involving extra-dimentions that very few people claim to understand - most of them jews.
Don't get me wrong - jews are really smart people and I even have some friends who are jews and know their customs are nowhere as bad as sometimes accused, but they are a distinct people and often act in their interests. They were often persecuted - by christian church and nationalists among others. I would not be at all surprised if that jewish guy Efimovich (who changed his name Christopher Columbus and claimed to circumnavigate the Earth) had some reasons to come up with that idea which seriously undermined the Church and distracted it to persecuting all kinds of heretics and made europeans engage in all kinds of religious wars among themselves - which had to ease pressure on jews.
