 You mentioned the other day that "Dr" Hachel had been spouting his ill-informed claptrap at fr.sci.physique for 30 years. So I had a look there and saw that we are lucky at sci.physics.relativity, as we get off fairly lightly.

No, I say the same things here as there.
And there as here, I never receive an obvious contradiction.
Saying: "Doctor Hachel, your posts are crap, because you don't describe relativistic geometry in the same way as Minlowski", is not an informed contradiction.
It's just saying "you don't think like him", there, precisely, the greatest physicists and philosophers in the world ask to think differently.
So I expect you to demonstrate that the good Doctor Hachel is wrong.
But you have to show where.
When I say that the excellent Paul B. Andersen is wrong, I show where and I explain why.
When I say that Python says anything during a Langevin at apparent speed, I show where and I explain why.
When I say that physicists give incorrect equations when evolving relativistic rotating frames or when studying uniformly accelerated frames, I show where, and I explain why.
I agree that such a man is annoying.
