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.

I'm more scared of hitting an out of control bike with my car that can handle those speeds. Pedestrians are getting to ballsy imo. I don't want to accidentally kill someone because they were dumb.
