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.

Yeah, they should have lights, but drivers have no right to dictate people's clothes while people are still driving around in black cars, especially when some of those have the wrong number of lights or sometimes don't put the lights on at all.

As for responsibility, let's be proportionate. A rubbish cyclist might kill themselves, but rubbish drivers can kill everyone and probably damage buildings and other infrastructure too, so it's probably justified if drivers have to pass stricter tests.
