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.

People who bike, walk, or ride public transit with speakers blaring should be ~~launched into the sun~~ shunned. The bell part is ok though.

On trails, or sidewalks, or on the bus, then yeah sure.

If you're cycling on the road, especially on a class 2/3 ebike, ESPECIALLY in a car-centric location I think you get a pass. Being heard by cars is more important than not annoying the one or two people who might be on the sidewalk.

Horns aren't enough for car-brains. They need a constant reminder.
