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 was 16 when I busted my face open from a bicycle ramping accident, without a helmet. I ripped my chin flesh off my jawbone when that happened.
I've always wondered what's the deal with helmets having that visor part in the front. If I had been wearing one of those when that happened, it would have pushed my head further back and broke my neck..
I'm still alive today, because I wasn't wearing a helmet.
Still alive, but with permanent brain damage hehue
Only minor motor control damage on the right side, for like 2 years, which recovered practically perfectly. The worst I'm left with is a partly numb lower left lip.
