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.

He "rode and carried" it up the mountain (doesn't say what percentage of the trip was riding vs carrying), rode it a short distance (20 meters, the minimum required for the record) at the summit, and rode and carried it back down again.

Also, his sherpa, Nima Kanchha, carried a full-size mountain bike instead of a Brompton and -- of course -- barely gets any credit for it.
