Then those websites and books are pretty good references for their
opinions. I don't see a problem here. A flat earth society website
is an excellent reference for a description of the views of that
society.
Strawman argument. No one is suggesting that we can't refer to such
source _for a description of their views_.
Then I must have misunderatood the argument entirely. That is all they

What we must say, if we are to be serious at all, is
that the views of
the flat earth society are totally inappropriate for a serious article
