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, it's another day and the Guardian is writing yet another hit piece on electric bikes.
its actually an issue though, I ride an e-assist that you need to pedal w a top speed of 25kph. kids, like 13 year old looking kids BURN past me without pedaling on an electric motorcycle in the bike lane.
its good people are using ebikes, yes, but its not good that people are driving electric motorcycles without training or insurance.
