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.

Petents need to go away.
Heatmaps are much older than any fckin Strava's patents.
Yeah DC Rainmaker’s video was filled with evidence that Garmin did heat maps first and Strava’s patent application came well after, long enough after that either Strava wasn’t first or, if they were first they failed to file within the de facto one year grace period. And given that Strava has let another decade go by before filing suit there’s no way a judge will be sympathetic to Strava pleading that there were special circumstances that led to the application being unusually late.
Patents don't care who came first. Patents dont even care if the thing you're patenting exists. And, currently, it seems quite easy to buy a judge's decision.
