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.

You can still hose it off after the ride, just as you would with an oil-based wet lube. Just don't expect your chain to actually be clean! LOL

Re: wet and muddy, one game-changer for me was to extend my front fender to almost touching the ground, so NOTHING hits my BB or chainrings. The back wheel and cogs may get some splash down from the rear fender, but because nothing is actually sticking to the components, I almost feel like cleaning after a ride isn't necessary (but I still do because of SALT).

I absolutely hated previous winters where I'd ruin entire microfiber cloths "cleaning" the black shit off of my chains. I was using the top performing chain lube (Silca Synergetic) and one from Wolf Tooth that claimed to "clean" as it lubes (tested by Zero Friction Cycling to be a lie).
