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.

If you live within biking range, you obviously have other economic advantages.

This is why I factor in distance to a rail stop when apartment/job hunting. It's a LOT easier to find a job near a stop than just near my neighborhood.
