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.

These guys are fucking clowns. Class 2 my ass. This is why every trail wants to ban e-bikes now.

There's definitely a lot of hate for e-motos among mountain bikers. IMO it all depends how it's ridden. If you turn down the power level and just cruise, you're not damaging the trail and it shouldn't be a bug deal. If you're giving it the beans and making ruts then that ruins the trail for everyone else and is definitely a dick move.
