Where is that stated in SR ?

I didn't say that it was "stated in SR". In fact I don't believe that a restriction to below light speed necessarily follows from the postulates of SR.

What I was suggesting in my post was that SR, per se, does not restrict relative velocities, and that it certainly does not state any reasons for such restriction.

If you read what I wrote you will see that I'm contending that it is just certain particular mathematical interpretations of SR that lead to that conclusion.

I have said that there are three reasons given, and that in my opinion they are due to fundamentally inaccurate mathematical representations.

If you think that those three reasons haven't been given for this hypothetical velocity restriction or that more than three reasons are given, please be specific.
