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.

They clarify in the next paragraph:

In a lot of countries it’s not a legal requirement, but you should still wear a helmet at all times. Sure, they may mess up your hair, but that’s a small sacrifice to pay for something that could save your life.

Mess up your hair or mess up your brain.

Some people think wearing a helmet doesn't look cool, but I think you look like much more of a fool biking with a naked head.

Thank you for coming to my TedX talk.
