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 do not live in an Idaho stop state, but I do it regularly.

OOOOK… I clearly stated that it’s legal where I live, and I only do it when it’s completely safe, and yet I’ve nearly been murdered by entitled drivers for doing so.

Also, the article linked in this very thread says that Idaho stops increase safety when all parties are aware of the law.

legal where I live

That's nice for you, the other 98% of drivers have never even heard of an Idaho stop.

That's where the danger comes from, a novel way to use a stop sign that is not common practice, ie people don't expect it causing hazards 🤷
