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 think segregation is right in some circumstances but disagree that it's the "real solution".

Perhaps this is completely unrealistic but IMO the solution is for all path users to share the path with other users. This doesn't just mean faster users slowing down to avoid slower users, but slower users also being aware of their surroundings and some of the potential dangers.
