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're sweating that much, why not just downshift? It's slower, but it's also easier!
I go uphill to go downhill. Enduro is my jam. The hills I go up are in the lowest gear already, they're just steep.
Just get robot legs
I know just the man for the job.
"'Zone 2?' More like danger zone!"
As a youngin, I used to bike to school often. For some reason I made it a point of pride to never downshift from the highest gears front and back. Took some getting used to when you had to push it when going around tight corners very slowly. Ended up with melon cracking thighs
"You're nuts junior!"
The first comment makes more sense now lol, if you're doing a big climb like that and someone zips past on an ebike, I'd be kinda peeved off too 😂
