An object isn't affected in any way by an arbitrary
observer's motion relative to the object.
But the object's motion relative to the observer
will affect the observer's _observations_ of the object.

But observations for a moving clock shows that it is in fact really
running
slow.....it accumulates less elapsed time. So your claim that relative
motion isn't affecting the rate of a clock is bogus.

No .. it doesn't mean that at all .. it meas that there is less elapsed
time. Unless you are talking about the rate of ticking of the moving
clock
as observed by the stationary observer .. in which case it is not
contradictory to what was claimed.

Hey idiot accumulating less elapsed time means that it is running at a
slower rate.
