Thank you for being a voice of reason. There are so few of them today. To the "rules are rules" people", do you really believe that to be a line that is never, ever to be crossed? If the speed limit is 25, you don't exceed that if you are taking someone to the hospital who is experiencing a heart attack? Were everyday Germans in the 1940s just following the rules when they betrayed the hiding places of Jews who were then sent to the gas chambers?
First, had there been an extenuating circumstance, then most everyone would be fine with not following the rule.
But, per the OP, this was not one or two RVs, this was pretty much the entire loop. And the weather was typical for the location and time.
That significantly reduces the chance that this was an extenuating circumstance.
To use your example, if one person exceeds the 25mph speed limit, it's potentially possible that they are rushing to the hospital. But if 10 out of 15 cars are exceeding the speed limit, then it is highly unlikely that they are all rushing to the hospital and much more likely that they are simply ignoring the law.
As for your other example, that is so far out of the realm of comparison as to be nonsensical. You can't compare human atrocities to following a no generator rule at a campground.
