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.

It's almost like people don't actually like driving everywhere and buying $40,000 cost centers. This is truly bizarre.

$40,000 cost centers that quickly lose value and incur huge maintenance and fuel costs, no less.
