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.

Why would neutral do anything to the engine?
Assuming that you are accelerating uncontrollably because the throttle is stuck open for some reason putting it in neutral doesn't fix that issue. It just stops the car from accelerating (i.e. fixes the symptom but not the disease). So the engine remains going full tilt, redlines, and blows itself up.
Oh, sure I get what you mean. It's not like neutral itself would be doing anything damaging though.
