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.

Nah fluff that, if you're allowed to walk drunk then a mobility aid you need to get anywhere shouldn't count as a DUI. "Shoulder of a public road"? How many places in the US don't have a footpath?

Plenty, granted. But in this case there was a footpath (or rather, a sidewalk as we style them here) which the guy could have used but he didn't.
