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.

'jam packed with batteries' doesn't seem to be a very safe thing to say. May be I'm a bit biased after seeing a bunch of videos of electric cycles bursting into fire in elevators.
