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.

When I was a kid, I got into a scuffle with a group of kids on our bikes. I managed to evade them, but they kept looking for me around town over the next week or so.

I went to the city pool and locked up my bike. I was a poor farm kid, so I did not have a fancy bike lock... I had like 12 feet of chain my dad used on his tractor and a huge padlock from an old barn door. I had so much chain I basically wrapped up my bike.

The other kids found my bike and tried to steal my wheels and handle bars but they were all chained up. The only thing they got were my grips. Luckily I had wrenches with my to put my bike back together.
