In my quest for the classification and categorization of everything, I have now come to a subject that can group several flat earthers, and especially the flat earth YouTubers: smooth talk.
Sometimes it is annoying, but, in an environment where verbal abuse is the rule, as it is among flat earthers, I definitely prefer the smooth-talking flat earthers, and would even try to be one of them, or learn from them as much as possible. Especially the art of not getting angry when insulted. Flat Earth is a good gym for that, too, because flat earthers offer you extensive practice with receiving insults.
Here's an example of smooth-talking, from a pretty good movie (but this scene is the best part of the movie):
Best Sales Lesson ever by Jeremy Piven in "The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard"

The movie is here in case you want to watch it:

Here's my list of smooth-talking flat earth YouTubers (from most smooth-talking to least):

I notice that they are over-represented among the big YouTubers, and that they are over-represented among the Round Tables:
fsr.boards.net/thread/89/flat-earth-round-tables
In other words, among the flat earthers, the smooth-talking, or rather smooth-writing forum members are less than 5% (if you are polite, you get accused of being a "shill", let alone if you are smooth-talking), whereas among the big YouTubers, the smooth-talking flat earthers are at least one third.
These I mentioned however are also the only smooth-talkers, as all the others either don't talk and don't write (e.g. my perspective, caesar, jhenningkelloggia, Zhib Rhan, etc.) or are rude, paranoid, delusional, moody, bad-tempered, aggressive and a whole range of other psychotic behaviors. Probably the smooth-talking flat earthers are also the only mentally healthy flat earthers.
Their only flaw is that they are flawless, and so they are all suspected and accused of being "shills", just as salesmen are accused of being nice in order to sell you a product. Instead, Eric Dubay... or even better examples his helpers Thinkforyourself and Lizardking, who tell you "fuck off" as soon as they meet you, are the good example of the "pure" flat earthers, those we supposedly should be able to rely on, because, being so rude, they can't be possibly trying to sell you anything. And, from some points of view it could make sense, although I prefer to be around the salesmen, rather than being insulted all the time. If "truther" has to be a synonym for "asshole", then I prefer to belong to the Illuminati.
