Congratulations Tony, that took practically no time at all. In my opinion the community needs people like you. And the best thing for all of us, including me is for you to stay and call them out in ways I cannot. Of course, finally it’s up to you. Mostly people are sensible and respectful. However, some people see themselves as entrenched into a cult that represents their entire reason d’être. I emphasise here that I am not talking about the average conspiracy theorist here - Flat Earther being a subset. I am talking about a small band of vicious, rusted-on cultists who live and breathe within the core of a Flat Earth Cult where any knowledge is considered poison. I am not even including the Oakley’s and QE’s and Globebusters, who are just ordinary garden variety grifters and scammers. I am talking about hard core maniacs and psychopaths who make a bad name for all conspiracy theorists. Logic from people as respected as you is an existential threat to their very persona. They have spent a lifetime being sidelined and marginalised as uneducated and irrelevant, largely because they chose to squander opportunities. When someone like you presents inescapable logic and reason backed with evidence, you threaten their group dynamics. Some of them will no doubt find within themselves some intellectual honesty and leave. Their group will be relegated to become a handful of losers and their irrelevance will start all over again. Once, again my friend, my heartiest congratulations to you.
Congratulations PhD Tony!!! Hope that you stay. Your voice and intelligence is needed in this community. I know the Earth is a globe just using common sense. You know the details and can state irrefutable evidence that disproves Flat Earth.
Congrats Tony. I think we would all agree that seeing less of you would be very sad. I hope you stick around for a very long time. Thanks for everything.
congratulations on the 1k you will catch team and fight in no time. as for the other thing i 100% agree this community needs to stop the drama BS. i get around most channels and is always good to see you there, i hope this will carry on all the best mate.
Hi Tony, well done on the 1000, and i really hope you do continue, we are learning so much, you are a breath of fresh air ! I am an Aussie also, we have a sense of right and wrong, i'm old school, and i detest bullies, liars and do not like some of our flat headed friends !! I'm shocked to hear your comments on your friends being driven out of TH-cam, is there anything we can get together Fight, Team, Brainy, Reds, Cats, SiMan and the others and through all those channels, we the troops hit back to these bastards and give them a taste of what they are doing. You do not have to be involved, none of us want that i'm very sure all would agree on that, also i'm in the dark as to whom you are talking about, maybe the guys i've mentioned know what is going on and have compartmentalized who these bastards are. If not, let all of us right these awful wrong doings. Cheers mate
The 1000 subs is well-deserved, Tony. Your specialist knowledge and humour are a very valuable addition to the anti-stupidity campaign. I'm fairly aware of the issues you're referring to. Sadly it seems that what are referred to as 'dramas' are an inevitable by-product of all forms of online socializing, and it's up to each of us to decide whether to simply accept that as yet another unfortunate fact of life, or back away. I hope you choose the former, but would personally understand if you did not. In spite of it's many flaws I reckon that this is still a worthwhile activity to be take part in - and remember that there are a hell of a lot of excellent people who are involved in it.
Just heard of your 1K subs!! Congrats for sure! Also heard of the misfortune that goes along with the "fame". Please reconsider your thoughts of reducing your time involvement in this venue. "We" need more people like you to help maintain the respect and status of keeping things honest in the debate environments. I try to watch all the videos which you participate in and I am impressed every time with your commitment to keep things civil. I do have to admit, you sir have a fortitude to resist the onslaught of the sheer stupidity that would put most people off in moments. I am sorry to hear that some of your associates decided to no longer participate any further due to the terroristic tactics used by "them". Hopefully, the people who left will eventually return to carry on with what they had initially came here to do. Im here to try to do my part in keeping the unsure out of the clutches of the flat earthers and away from the malicious lies they push as the "truth". Best of luck and again, Congrats on the 1K!
Congrats PhD Tony on 1k. The ripple you have made in the flerf debates and just debunking in general was a great thing. Glad to have watched your videos.
Congratulations, Tony. I'm sorry to hear about your friends. While I don't know the details, I hope you decide not to leave because you're not just knowledgeable you're respectful. Facts must be spoken, especially now. Wasn't it Sagan who said, "If it can be destroyed by the truth, it deserves to be destroyed by the truth"? But I understand you must do what's best for you. I'll still be subscribed. Hail Sagan!
way to go Tony Congrats on the 1K, Sad to hear of the situation with thats happening but but you have to do what you think is right, i hope it doesn't come to it as you would be missed, if theres anything can do do to help just shout out.
Wow! Well deserved, I'd say!! Congratulations to the 1000 subs. I must say about the Krafty/Ilya situation: this totally went past me, so I have no standing on either side. I would respect but be deeply sorry if you were to leave because of that. But you are one of the most kind and honest persons I have met (al eit remotely) so rest assured: no matter what your decision will be: it'll be the right one!!
Thanks so much for the great content you put out and for the brilliant and wise words you say whenever you participate in conversations on your and other people's channels. Congrats on the 1k subscribers!

First of all congats on the achievement, as others have expressed well done on the content you produce, some has been over my head but most I have been able to follow. As I commentated on a fellow youtuber's channel we see so much foe outrage at what people say in fear of retribution from others when in reality they are so wrapped up in themselves they don't really care. To express a thought or an opinion has become fraught with danger. All we can do is be true to self, believe what is believable that can be supported by evidence and if others do not like this, that is their problem and not yours.
Well done you deserve every one of those subs & hopefully many more to come. If people leave the community because of harassment its a win for the harassers which is not a good thing, I must add I have no personal experience of this sort of harassment.
I deeply admire your integrity Tony. When people are so disrespectful it’s definitely hard to see a reason to keep going, but I really hope you can find a way to stick with it as you bring so much balance to what is a troubled den of insanity. I’m based in Canberra, not sure where you are but hope we cross paths some day and can grab a beer or whatever your choice of inebriative liquid is.
Saddened and sorry to read that your problems are with people on 'our' side of debunking. It is not acceptable whoever is doing it. Hope you and your friends find the support to stay around.
Congratulations Tony! I would really hate to see you leave, as you are the voice of reason within this community. I remember the first time I saw this 'Anthony Purcell' come online on Team or FTFE's channel, and flat smack some ignorant person. Loved it! I'm aware of the Krafty/Ilya problem and I would really, really hate to see you go because of that. You have a very important voice in the community, and it will suffer alot with you gone. I don't know whats right or wrong, up or down in the matter with the two ladies and their communities. I hate bullies and absolutely support anybody who stands up against that. But is that all there is to it? I don't know. I do know, how the incident made me migranic for 2 straight weeks. Just really down the drain. Here were a conflict between two ladies I admire and love, and what could be done to solve it? And I'm not even an active member of this community, just a huge watcher/liker of all of you. I truely wish someone very trustworthy, like MBFurball would take the time to look into the facts, and solve it. I don't need to know the truth, but I need the wronged person to get acknowledged for it. And I need this problem solved! And I so need you to stay and continue teaching me alot about science, politics, life etc.
Congratulations on 1000 subs, I have no idea what has been going on but you would be a loss to TH-cam. There aren’t many people with your experience. As far as I know you are unique on TH-cam it would be a shame for you to drop it so soon. If there is anything the people on this channel can do I suspect most of us would help out.
As a scientist I always welcome and support anyone who uses his or her time to popularize science. It is sad to hear you have been discouraged by the wave of uneducated hate. It is very important to do whatever we can do to try to make the new Dark Age they so much try to impose on us impossible.
I'm happy for you Tony. You are awesome and deserve every one of your subs!

Yay congrats tony ♥️
