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.

I've heard of people getting DUIs and speeding tickets on bicycles before.
In California, our speeding laws apply equally to all forms of transport, but quite frankly, a speeding ticket on an acoustic bicycle would likely be worn as a badge of honor lol
For DUI though, California distinguishes motor vehicle DUI from "BUI", a bicycle misdemeanor with a max fine of $250 and no jail time. They do this in recognition that no drunk bicyclist could ever instigate the carnage and death that a motor vehicle can.
It's unclear to me (for lack of looking it up) whether drunk e-scooter riding would also fall under the BUI law or if it would be under the catch-all dangerous driving offense. But in no circumstances could it be DUI, which is for motor vehicles only.
Technically it's a CUI: Cycling Under Influence. BUI is used for boating.
Interesting question regarding scooters though. VC 21200.5 says "bicycle" but I'm not a lawyer. I'm sure a cop with a vendetta would cite things like missing reflectors rather than understand legal nuances.
