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.

UK government seems to live up to the stereotype of being ridiculous about licenses, damn

It’s not as bad as some places, for example no need for a licence/permit for trailers or bicycles. But the current government is working on scaring seniors and authoritarian rule. Luckily it’s not working and we are due for a new government next month.
