It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

As a person who got hit while driving a Vespa 150cc at 40mph (64kph), and hit my head on the pavement at speed with a helmet on: absolutely categorically emphatically no fucking way.

I used to take that on highways. I question my sanity every day.

Sounds like the crash knocked some sense into you

Only rode one more time after that, and that really brought the trauma back. Sold that thing afterwards.
