> 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.
