I would dispute that the comment in question said that, but now it is gone (deleted?). Your view is quite reasonable, the original post's was not.

- wtallis 3y agoThe comment has been flagged, so you can't see it without turning on the showdead option. The line in question is: > If you're promoting research into quantum gravity that doesn't respect special relativity, you're a crackpot. Using the word "crackpot" apparently went too far for some people, but it's not controversial to say that a theory of quantum gravity needs to respect special relativity: quantum gravity is about trying to unify quantum mechanics with general relativity, and general relativity is the generalization of special relativity to include gravity.
- noslenwerdna 3y agoSure, but implying she is a crackpot for investigating what are presumably extensions of special relativity is too far. I'm not familiar with her research, but I very much doubt she proposes disregarding special relativity all together.
