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.

Anything that isn't a car is a threat to them, but I'd wager they would feel significantly less threatened by it because horses aren't a viable alternative to cars, while deep down they know bicycles can replace cars.
