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.

Atop that, there’s a difference between the silver and black cleats. The silver ones unclip if you simply pull in any direction except up, while the black ones only unclip by twisting. ... To say they are universally an “easy-unclip” clipless system is simply untrue, and someone who gets the black cleats will NOT have that experience.

Broke my shoulder from not being able to unclip (black SPDs) while still relatively new to clips and then panicking and stiff-arming the landing last moment and was wondering what Paragone was talking about. Thanks for explanation! Had no clue there was a difference.
