There are no "flat earthers", but there are different explanations for the eclipse than the one you believe.
The ancient indian astronomers recorded some "shadow objects" they named rahu and ketu. These dark objects obscure the light from the sun and moon periodically.
This explanation can accommodate selenelion eclipses, which yours cannot.
What is the explanation that you believe in?
They've already stated to me their conclusion is that the known world is (at least mostly) flat (or at least, that all signs point to this being the answer), which is exactly how I would describe a flat earther.
I'm not sure why they don't want to describe themselves as something that they basically are.
