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 get using a hardtail with a bbshd as a moped replacement or whatever, but who the fuck wants to go highway speed on a bike frame?

28mph is plenty fast on a bicycle for me, I'm fine with class 3. I usually ride closer to 15-20 anyways on the "fast" end, faster if I'm in a hurry and things are clear I guess.
