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 can see it both ways. My daily driver is a converted $100 Walmart bike (the conversion kit & battery cost +$500). It's held up okay, but I've had to put a lot of labor into it.
The only things original on it now are the frame, seat, crank, and one pedal. Still, at 4600 km, I've put less than $1000 into it, so you can get into it pretty cheap if you're commited and your needs are simple.
