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.

Think of it as a conditional probability time stream on an actuary table:

• Every day that you don't get killed by a Ford f-450, your lifespan increases by a few minutes

• This is like putting pennies into the penny jar

• Eventually the penny jar gets full and then you are killed by a Ford f-450, thus spilling all of the contents (and your contents), onto the road.

• Thus, the energetic principle of conservation of entropy is preserved, with positive entropy.
