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.

Been considering a belt driven commuter and wanted to see what you all thought. Thanks!

Sometimes chains snap too. But that is an easy to fix it in a pinch if you aren't in the middle of nowhere. I just walked my bike to the nearest store with basic bike tools (walmart), bought a chain break tool, and used some quick links I had in my bike bag to repair it and get back home. Not sure how easy doing similar repairs would be to do without keeping a spare belt on you.
