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.

Suspended monorails don't take taller rails. You can keep the train upright. It has been well demonstrated. The amount of weight on the rails is insignificant compared to what they were designed for. I doubt there would be any detectable movement.

All that said this seems like an overly complicated solution.
