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.

Public service news agency falsely stating that most accidents with pedelecs are fatal. Statistics they cite say it's 0.8% (www.zdf.de)

So... That was quite a surprise, here's the link to the statistics: Link

188 fatalities out of nearly 24k accidents don't qualify as 'most cases end deadly'. I don't want to speculate as to how someone can misread a statistic that significantly while writing an article for a public service news site. But the damage of such false narratives is considerable.
