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.

A missing person report prompted a massive search and rescue effort in Oregon. The missing mountain biker managed to self-extract himself from the wilderness after 6 days, and has made it home safe.

I've been watching these "scary camping encounters" videos online. A lot of times the "scary" part is just a person coming up on someone's camp site in the night.

In the US that might actually be strange because you can be miles and miles out into the forest. But every time the video takes place in the UK it's like "come on, you can see a house/road right there".
