Why does Uncle assAl usually just name-call?

Because when he tries to express reason he makes a circular-reasoning ass of
himself:

It is beside the immediate point, but as assAl points out below, I always
insist - not on t'=t - but on there being no t' in honest Newton-theoretic
transforms.

See? You must introduce t' so you can differentiate wrt t'.

Circular 'reasoning'.

To quote myself (pay particular attention to the end of the quote):

True Believer SR-cult responses
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Focus well on negative 'responses'. Are they vicious ranting?

If not, are the replies actually responsive?

"How dare you say my soups suck!" exclaimed the angry chef, "my peach pies
are perfect"

Do they rant about gravity, or how Relativity is proved correct a million
times each day, or some other 'we are proved right' rave that doesn't deal
in details about the debunking done here? It is typically General Relativity
or items about the energy and mass of moving objects that are being waved at
you, and such items are completely irrelevant to coordinate transformations
and invariance..

Just ask them for a list of all the observations that have been made of the
shortening (contraction) of moving objects that Special Relativity says
always occurs.

Rarely, there is actually a response that has some relevance to the material
posted, and those are proofs of their Brain Death.
