Why it must the " NON " and the " ANTI "...?

It seems that, if you want to criticize Einstein at some conference,
you need to pass for a non-Einsteinian. If Einsteinians decide to
define you as an anti-relativist, your participation is doomed:

The problem is that you never know what criteria Einsteinians use. For
instance, when the philosopher of physics Steven French organized the
conference "Foundations of Physics"

I was disqualified as an anti-relativist because I wanted to discuss
the principle of variability of the speed of light used in Einstein's
theory of relativity. In contrast, French's friend, the philosopher of
physics Jeremy Butterfield, suggested that signals can propagate
faster than light

and was defined as a non-Einsteinian. As a result, the philosopher of
physics Steven French allowed the philosopher of physics Jeremy
Butterfield to take part in the conference.
