“@chdot so nothing to say re: rule 1 and the implication of two comments in the same thread then?”
My comments can be taken as relating to those too.
My personal rule as ONE of the moderators on here is to intervene as little as possible and rely on degrees of self control.
There are issues where people have and do take opposing views eg HELMETS.
In the past such things occasionally got ‘out of hand’. Arguable helmets is more relevant to this forum than some other things, but CCE has always dealt with a wide range of things which sometimes incite passions and (potentially or actually) divisions.
Sadly ‘these days’ some things seem beyond reasonable debate and rational outcomes (and other similar loaded terms).
Play nice (everyone), just accept that on some issues people have views that won’t be altered easily (or at all). It might be that some views are ‘wrong’ and that societally things change. But the process is seldom simple or straightforward.
‘We’ might agree on 20mph or segregated cycle infrastructure but we are aware that not everyone agrees. On some level we are a persecuted minority. That may sound crass, but people are killed while cycling. Context is important.
