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.
Don't Helmes limit the movement to the backside to keep your neck from breaking?
Yes and the anchor points will also give way before your neck does (which is exactly what happened when I crashed: My neck, along with the rest of my head and face: all completely fine, but the helmet was toast).
That guy is totally full of shit and should be ignored: Wear a helmet!
