I'm sure I could go through that website and refute every one of this guy's claims, point by point, without breaking a sweat.

The man s a Physics Professor. Why not correspond with him if you think he is so deluded. And surely there are a couple of simple "errors" you can point to.

But here's something that should give you pause: if there were a (more) simple explanation for the phenomena explained by relativity, and if relativity were trivially wrong, don't you think that the relativity "heretics" would hit upon the same explanation?

"Its true because we all agree it is true"? Is that really your best argument?

Because I have no axe to grind against him. Let him be deluded; I have work to do.

No, experimental fact is my best argument. This is simply a different argument, and I would phrase it (after Tolstoy), "All correct models are alike; all incorrect models are incorrect in their own way."
