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.

If you think your head and its contents are important, wear a properly adjusted helmet. Every time.
tell that to everyone who rides bikes in europe, where nobody wears helmets.
Especially delivery riders. No helmets, ebikes and capatalist attitude to maximising deliveries over time is a catastrophic mix.
Anyone who drives/rides for work and is paid by the job are usually a menace on the road.
