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.

Praise the lord for something no one asked for, and that will turn into the cringe-mobile within days of its release. This is the PT Cruiser of motorcycles

Remember “chopper” and designer bicicles? Only for douche bags

I'm not going to call everyone riding one a douche but I am also not going to buy one.

What was wrong with chopper bikes though? I've barely seen anyone outside kids ride them and wasn't aware of any reputation aside from being kind of impractical for much outside of casual cruising.
