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.

All the more reason these electric scooters should be parked on the street, ideally displacing car parking. If the law doesn't permit that, the law should change.

In a way, it would be a democratic way to show how public space should be allocated. If a place has more app-based electric scooters than cars parked beside the curb, then perhaps the local council should take the hint and build infrastructure to better accommodate those users. If there aren't many scooters, then no harm no foul.
