See attached figure 3.

The dots represent spacetime events in S', mapped onto S using the
inverse Lorentz transformation.

In the left panel, the immediate context of the receiving event
includes events 1, 2 and 6.

If, to prevent the formation of causality loops, you apply your speed
limit to superluminal velocities, the immediate context of the
receiving event is shifted to include events 4, 5 and 8.

The context of the receiving event shifts for EVERY observer moving
at a different speed relative to S'. This is absurd.
