Androcles, in your case, I will get over my disenchantment.

But I want this to be a fruitful exchange between the two of us, so
let's agree on some ground rules. We'll go things one little step at a
time. When we get to a point of conflict, we'll identify what the
error is on either side, and the party in error MUST acknowledge the
error and remove the erroneous statement from further discussion.

We can proceed any of three ways:
1. We start with the assumptions and implications of your theory.
2. We start with the assumptions and implications of special
relativity.
3. We start with what you think is specifically factually wrong with
SR, internally inconsistent, or inconsistent with other accepted
theoretical models.

Your choice.
