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.

The means of transport as the specifying factor for a jail sentence is absurd or even idiotic. It's like, if the killer was wearing red shorts - he is sentenced for 5 years. Green shorts - ok, it's 2 years only.

Or another "clever reasoning": Killed by a driver of ICE car -> a year of imprisonment. Electric vehicle? - Hey, you still go to jail. 5 year sentence, you green-washed snowflake) Hybrid car? - 3 years. Bike - [random number of] years. Bus? Aeroplane? A scooter?! Etc.

What the actual...fricking difference of what vehicle the careless driver was using -- as the victim is killed/injured anyway?! 🤦
