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.

According to the article it's faster/instant engagement. but I've been riding for over 30 years and I can't say the standard has never bothered me.

I got to volunteer at a UCI event. A lot of the racers had very clicky hubs there, I imagine this is mostly for those competitive types.
