Unsolicited advice is worthless. Deplatforming is a defense tactic of
ideologues. That relativity is  an ideology has been demonstrated by
Peter Hayes in "The Ideology of Relativity: The Case of the Clock
Paradox."

What components couple with gravity that have no mass? Photons, Higgs
bosons, and what else? Particles without mass? I certainly don't accept
that nonsense.
That you think anything but mass couples to gravity disqualifies you.
