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.

This is something else that future generation will look weirdly at. The idea that you can just leave you car to occupy public space.

Most of the public space is taken up by car, it's insane when you think about it.

Which is why my local authority (reasonable enough) charges me for parking in my street. They also have secured cycle hangers for residents to rent. Not many spaces for cargo bikes available, unfortunately
