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.

While it hurts to do it, especially with a new bike: make it look worthless/less expensive. Make it dirty and sputter some mud on it. If thieves don't think it is worthwhile to steal, the lock doesn't need to be too sophisticated and you are less nervous. For commuting I would not use my best bike, but a reliable one.
I use an ABUS U-Lock to lock my bike, to answer your original question.
