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'm not saying no laws should protect people from themselves, but there is a big difference between a machine that is likely to harm someone else vs just the operator when operated unsafely.
The issues is that these "bikes" end up being used in mixed pedestrian/bicycle areas where they can seriously harm other cyclist and pedestrians. If they don't end up harming them they will make everyone feel less safe than a normal bicycle (with limited electric assistance) that needs effort to accelerate rapidly and therefore will stay much closer to a cruising speed where they don't need to accelerate/brake rapidly.
