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.

Ain't nothing wrong with that.

For historical precedent, Honda originally devised the Super Cub -- literally the most sold vehicle in history, bar none -- with design elements in mind specifically to make it useful for Japanese noodle shops to use as a delivery vehicle. If they think hipster startups will buy this and slap their logo on the side and tootle around downtown, well, so what?
