I'll go toe-to-toe with you on any part of it. What do you want to discuss?
Like I said, any factual argument at all stating why you think the earth is not massive object crushed into a generally spherical shape by its own gravity, just like virtually every other massive, dense object in not just our own solar system but the entire observable universe. Why you don't think it's reasonable that the same gravity pulling the earth's own mass inward could not possibly also allow for things on the surface of the earth to also be pulled toward its center, creating an "up" and "down" that is relative to the earth's center rather than a flat plane.

Hey I gotta sleep sometime.

The ball earth theory involves so much mental gymnastics you had to put scare quotes around such basic words up and down, because the ball worldview precludes those concepts. Anyway, I'm not a scientist but I suspect it's density.
It really, really doesn't, and I think I explained it fairly reasonably. What part exactly are you having trouble with? Massive objects becoming spherical under their own gravity, or being able to walk on the surface of such an object? I will gladly come back to this thread every single day and explain anything you're having trouble with.
