Relativity is unfortunately uniquely suitable for such abuse beacuse it
is based on fundamental notions of time and space that everybody feels
to be an expert in, and its simplest aspects can be derived with little
more than high school algebra. Notice how the *second* part of
Einstein's paper is never debated by those types.

I agree - on both points. The problem now is that Einstein is such an
icon, and common shorthand for "cleverest human ever", that anyone who
does proves him wrong, will immediately be seen to inherit the crown.
This is just too much of a temptation for some people - perhaps all of
us.

The real test for me is how quickly the abusive behaviour starts.

It is not abuse if it's the truth. Icons have a way of veiling people's eyes
to the truth, and neither of you have any concept of "proof".
There is no requirement to debate the second part of Einstein's paper,
the error lies in the first part.
That you remain willfully blind to the error is nobody's fault but your own.

Simple high school algebra:
"In agreement with experience we further assume the quantity
2AB/(t'A-tA) = c,
to be a universal constant--the velocity of light in empty space." --
Einstein.

In agreement with experience and without any assumption,
BA = -AB,
2AB = AC,

[AB +BA]/(t'A-tA) = 0
Hence c = 0 in Einstein's math.

But you'll both ignore it and call others abusive, you fucking morons.

Androcles.
