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.

Bikes are so dangerous! Imagine all the scrapes and bruises! Not like the safety of cars or trains or airplanes. 99% safe! Sure you can run over bikes with all three, you can die in the accident in all three and the only difference is how many fractured bones each can provide...car...from 1 rib to all bones broken and entrails squeezed out like toothpaste...train... complete instantaneous chopping of any body part.... airplane...from 1 rib, to chopped up parts, to liquification, misting or powdering plus extreme heat if you're lucky. But not as dangerous as a bike.
