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 might be up for it, but my 2-year old child probably wont be, he could catch a cold instantly. Afterall if i were married, the decision wont be up to me, a wife wont tolerate taking babies to kindergarden with a bicycle and risk being rammed with a f-150, especially in the us, of all places. a car sometimes acts like a big metal box just to absorb shocks when an accident happen. but micromobility could be justified for other uses, but it shouldnt replace a car, or a bus. anyway, certain exceptions may apply
So you are blaming a baby and a non-existent wife for your refusal to find another way. ๐
keep in mind we're basically pioneers at this point. we're paving the way to make taking your kid to school on a bike practical in the future
