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.

Counter steering is taught in motorcycle defensive driving courses. It's faster and safer to give the bars a counter-push and release, and let physics do its thing, than to try to fight momentum.

I rode a 4 wheel ATV after years of riding motorcycles and I kept trying to countersteer instinctively because they have handlebars. Most people on two wheels (myself included) don't even realize that they're countersteering.
