Anyone familiar with the sci.physics newsgroup, will also be familiar with James Driscoll, better known as Spaceman. For years, James has been bombarding the newsgroup with endless semi-literate, semi-intelligible posts that purport to disprove relativity.

His disbelief in relativity is based on personal incredulity mixed with a negligible understanding of both the theory and the experimental evidence supporting it. His staple argument is to falsely assume that relativity is primarily supported by direct observation of time dilation, and to then claim that the clocks used in such experiments malfunctioned.

Most criticism is met by ad nauseum repetition of the above claim, combined with insults that range from the offensive to the bizarre. His favourite insults are claims that a person has a religious or emotional attachment to relativity, for example, 'Clock Worshipper'.
