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.

Are you sure you're not generalising a bit?

Because I'm sort of sure assholes can ride slim tyres as well... I've seen many.

I'm just not getting the causation of fat tyres = asshole driver.

Also, mine aren't fat tyres. Not that it matters. Normal bike but a hub motor in the rear and a battery in the frame.
