If we are motivated enough and pedantic enough, we could impeach any post in any thread in this forum on the basis of implied consequence. For example, we could turn any discussion into an argument about whether all of us, as automotive enthusiasts, think that it is ok to speed despite the higher risk to other motorists associated with that act or to drive vehicles which expel higher levels of tailpipe emissions than is necessary for human transport.
But we are not going to do that because there are rules about diverting discussions off the topic of the thread. But its not just that. We are also not going to do that because we are adults and we are going to work together to make BimmerPost a friendly place. We are not going to exhibit deliberate hostility toward others simply because we may not agree with them on everything.
Since we all understand each other, I know that this particular thread will henceforth be limited to the topic of the bridge collapse and tragedy that killed at least four people. And out of respect for them, we are not going to make it into some political debate.
Thank you all for enjoying BimmerPost in compliance with the rules. Have a great day.
