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.

True, but they'll wear out and need to be replaced eventually either way so I just don't stress about it. Re-lubing it every few weeks and wiping it clean with a rag seems to flush out most of the dirt just fine. The chain never gets dirty to the point that you'd get your hands dirty from touching it. These general purpose oils are so thin that dust doesn't seem to stick to it that much anyway compared to proper chain lube. I've been getting around 3 years of use from a chain this way and that's good enough for me.
