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.

Also, it looks uncomfortable.

I rode a C-line Brompton with tall bars and, much to my surprise, it was very comfortable to ride even over a cobblestone road and gravel. The low bar was much less pleasant (very twitchy and not as smooth as the high bar, I think the extra length in the tall stem soaks up more shock).
