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.

“Run” red lights? No, not in any state. “Proceed cautiously after stopping to make sure it is safe to cross?” Yes, in several.

“Running a red” suggests passing through without stopping or checking at all.

Honestly, I'm fine with it. I've decided to always like Jalopnik after they posted this article.
