Your conclusion is most likely drawn from insufficient observation.
Before making an unwarranted assertion, you should check the threads
in this newsgroup going back over a period of years. You will discover
that those people being referred to in a derogatory fashion have, in
all likelyhood earned it. I suggest that you endeavor to discuss
relativity with someone like androcles, AllYou!, kenseto, etc. who
will deliberately waste your time as long as you continue to believe
they are being earnest in the questions they pose rather than posing
them as a pretense in order to waste the time of anyone who is unaware
of their trolling history.

Pointing out the ineducable trolls who aspire to waste the time
of anyone mistaking their trolls for serious questions, _is_
constructive. It's nothing more than passing on the knowledge gained
from personal experience so that others who are interested in discussing
physics will not have to waste their time re-discovering well known
facts. You are free to re-discover the trolls for yourself and in
doing so, you might gain some insight as to why pointing them out
is useful to someone who hasn't been reading the newgroup for a long
period of time.
