From BadAstronomy:
I hope posting this is not against the rules, but this really brings up something.
We get away with a lot more here than we can at other fora. the traffic load at BA is so high that the moderators have a very short tolerance for insults and ad hominim attacks.
Lately stargazer has descended into rudeness, insults and invective. He's called one user a "bald-faced-liar" and another a "wanker."
In his case, this is obviously following the WooWoo Credo, but the Credo is a description of of a pattern of actions, not a set of rules to be followed; form follows function. The function of his posts is to get a "rise" out of us, and when he starts to get boring he needs to work harder. He doesn't want to work harder by doing research or calculations, so he calls us wankers and liars.
Let's not respond in kind, but in kindness. I'm not one of those "peace and flowers" guys, always turning the other cheek. I'm one of those Gun-owning Longhairs. But this is not the place for highly inflamed emotional responses.
The BadAstronomy moderators are like traffic cops in a busy city. Our moderator, LunarOrbit, is more like a small town cop. We only have one stoplight to run, and if he's not looking we can get away with it.
Lets make sure it stays that way. Keep the posts calm and intelligent, set a good example, and ignore the anger-button words.
I'm all in favor of keeping the rule-enforcement loose and gentle, with the occasional warning and banning only the very worst posters that only bring out the worst in us.

But Einstein made suggestions, he introduced postulates. And we have to make this greater speed shorter by gamma-factor and introduce relative time. His argument: there is no speed higher than the speed of light is hypnotising dogmatic assertion (a circus experiment).
see animation and say: along blue distance you see two different pulses with two different speed or the same speeds?
Mazarov, you seem to have a very serious problem, have you tried a psychanalist? Or have you tried reading some college books on relativity? Are you aware that SR/GR are amongst the most oft tested theories? The fact that you have a website and some theories that are full of holes doesn't mean that you are right and that Einstein is wrong. Though your theories are full of holes your animations are nice. Perhaps you could take a few classes in physics and rewrite your animations on correct grounds. Then you may be even able to make the money that you dearly want.
Do svidanya!

clj4: I've already advised you to read the forum rules here, and sent you a duplicate warning via private message in that regard. You are welcome to defend Einstein here but you must do so politely. Your above comments directed at Masanov Rainbow Calendar violate our civility and decorum guidelines.
Let me make this perfectly clear: if you post another rude comment, you will be banned.
