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.

Unfortunately it’s not quite 1:1. Depending on your location, a lack of bike infrastructure might have you biking significantly farther than you would have driven.
On the flip side, though, in some places you're able to take shortcuts on a bike where cars can't go.
Or avoid traffic that would have left you going slower than you are on the bike.
Riding on a bike and passing cars that are stuck in traffic is a magical experience. 10/10 would recommend. A feeling of simultaneously combined moral, physical, and practical superiority that you won't find anywhere else in the world. Plus, you're riding on a bike, and riding a bike is fun.
It might not last long, but for those few minutes where your bicycle is outpacing car traffic, you feel like a god. A god powered by the envious stares of fat, bored motorists.
It's the opposite for me. Taking a car would add like 15% of distance to my commute with an eBike.
