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.

Says the person who spent $6000 on a silly toy and probably posted pictures all over their socials in an effort to claim their award of "most self righteous waste of money". Given such tendencies, I would imagine that you often gargle your own as you're already down there partaking in the smell of your own flatulence. With the grover-esque nature of the average ebike rider's legs, one might imagine that such contortions come rather easily.

Good day.

Don't be a dick or you will be banned permanently. You can disagree without insulting each other.

I've been thrown out of nicer places than this!

Also: "Don't insult people you dick!"

Brilliant.
