Default Re: Rule Number 5

I really hope this does not start a hate storm now.

We are seriously considering banning the words "I disagree...." ?
Seriously?

When I see a post that misleads or is dangerous or not in the best interest of the preservation of the car I feel obligated to say so.

I do NOT think saying "I disagree......" is something to be banned.

Example Post:
"it is ok to smoke while working on the fuel system"

A possible reply:
"I disagree. It is a common practice to not smoke when working around fuel"

So now the new improved way in order to follow the proposed new Rule 5 would require someone to write,

"I am so very sorry but I have a different opinion. It is a common practice to not smoke when working around fuel"

Or

"Please forgive me but I see it differently. It is a common practice to not smoke when working around fuel"

Or.

"My understanding is, it is a common practice to not smoke when working around fuel"

Really?

Let's not try to regulate words or read between the lines on what may or may not have been meant. This is not North Korea or China. Wielding too much control can have really bad consequences.

Just my opinion based on the country we live in (oh and Canada )
They are meant to be in the best interest of the club.
