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.

I think it's just too close to what people here are used to seeing used as arguments against electrification, and knee-jerk reaction is downvote.

I could imagine 100 years ago someone saying "Yes we know your house is burning down, but we had to find a shop with gasoline to put in the motorcar" to imply horse-drawn carts would be better suited for firehouses.

Idk, I still got a chuckle.
