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.

My job is moving offices next year and Ill be able to ride to work, but my job description says I need to have a car for work (they pay us a vehicle allowance) so Im going to buy an insanely small engined cheap piece of shit and leave it in the work carpark, only use it for work and track every cent I spend on it so I can deduct any extra expenses at tax time AND get more exercise.
