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 think there is this mistaken idea that if something is generally available, especially without licensing or other restrictions, then just anybody can operate/use it safely. These folks aren't even wearing proper attire or PPE for operating these vehicles. But hey, they grew up drinking out of the water hose or whatever other nonsense they think makes them impervious to the laws of physics. Truly, we're all sorry your parents didn't love you and neglected you, now put a fucking helmet on.
