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.

And, as a person who owns a sportscar but takes the metro everywhere, it’s nice that I don’t need to put so many unnecessary and hard miles on it all the time. It’s already 10 years old but it should last a good long time not needing to being constantly heat cycled every day just to make a bunch of 15-30min trips.
It’s like people in cars forget that they are also able to walk. The very idea of getting around on foot is so foreign to them as to be an insane, impossible notion.
