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.

Oh good another alarmist panic article about how ebikes are a 'super duper danger apocalypse going to murder your child' level threat because they go 20mph or whatever.
That kid on a surron without pedals and a 8kw motor is not riding an ebike, its an offroad motorcycle, I wish politicians and the news would get that right for once.
