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.

Yup. This is why having multiple "good" locks, is better than one super-expensive "really good" lock.

And I'd also use other methods, like removing the seat, taking off the chain, etc. to delay theft even more, if that works for you.

But... the caveat.... given enough time + motivation, a thief will steal your bike no matter what efforts you make.

Society is far too relaxed about bike theft, and thieves know this.
