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.

If you’ve ever flown you’ve depended on fly by wire systems to keep you safe

If I'm flying it means I've already decided to put my trust in a pilot and it's up to him to manage the risk of systems failures, not me. It's an entirely different thing.

Now, if I were piloting a small plane myself, then it would be comparable -- but I'd probably want to have mechanical linkages between the yoke and the control surfaces in that case, too!
