Anyone in this day and age can hop on a plane and visit the opposite hemisphere to watch the stars rotate about the other celestial pole—in the opposite direction!
I appreciate the shoutout. This has been a valuable read. I wanted to write something similar about the flerf, but lacked the motivation. I've grown tired of the debate. Besides, you did a much better job than I could ever hope to do.
Who care's about a movement? Isn't the truth itself what matters? And if the earth is of one shape or another, it is the responsibility of those concerned with the question to develop hypotheses in order test them experimentally, and to do so in a way that is repeatable, so that their hypotheses can be tested repeatedly and reliably. I have seen only one person develop such a thing. Myself. And I have yet to see it carried out.

Ernest Shackleton was my father's top hero in life, watched his eyes well up every time he told the story
