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.

Capitalism perverts all things in time.

I wish we had more options for repairable, reusable, rebuildable, sustainable products.

Companies can still make money if they are selling quality goods... people die and are born every day, so it's not like they would run out of customers.

The problem is that there are too many incentives for making products disposable, and not enough to make them future proof.
