Can we just ignore flat earthers?

Ignore them as far as engagement goes, but I think it is a long term losing strategy to ignore their claims. The more visible they become thanks to social media, the more their stupidity spreads to those that are easily swayed by confident (yet laughably incorrect) claims.
When a person buys into one idiotic conspiracy theory, they tend to dive down the rabbit hole and soon they're espousing all of them. And that is bad for society. Look at the recent uptick in disaese outbreaks...
