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 cars are usually not thrown across the walkway.

Depends where you live. There are people who think cycle lanes and sidewalks are free parking as long as you leave certain arbitrary sized gap for a person to pass.

However it's often not enough to squeeze through with a pram or a wheelchair. If it were a scooter, i could easily move it myself to make way, but with cars i have to go onto the road to go around the car. Cars are definitely more dangerous.

Not even that.
