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 feel like the inconvenience of locking the bike twice every single time you want to stop somewhere almost negates the convenience of having a fast convenient personal vehicle.
Personally I find that the way I have mine make it more convenient than when I had a single cheaper lock.
The keys are captive on the frame lock while it's open, so I can leave the keys on it while riding and I know I'll never forget them.
When I stop I push the lever of the frame lock, get the keys, unclip the U from the frame and attach the bike.
It's faster this way rather than having to look in my bag or pocket for the keys.
