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 just shopping for one and was shocked about the price. Thought about it and realized, this is literally my brain, everything who is me and about me. Out of everything that I can cheap out on, this is not one of them.
