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'm just gonna say it. If you are a full grown adult and ride a bicycle without a helmet, you're pretty stupid. I had a 35 year old girlfriend who didn't wear her helmet because she thought it looked stupid. My sisters boyfriend sometimes goes on bike rides with his kids and refuses to wear a helmet. My sister and him argue a lot about it, and now she's got him so far that he takes a helmet with him, but still doesn't wear it. I see people with children in their child seats who wear a helmet, but the parent does not. What the fuck is the logic here? When you fall you crack your head open and while you are in a puddle of blood, your 4 year old is gonne deal with it?
Just a few days ago I watched some dude ride electric scooter on ice and had his helmet hanging on the shoulder strap of his backpack. Yeah go figure.
One of our competitors lost their boss after he hit his head really hard in an escooter accident. Permanent vegetable now. Wasn't wearing a helmet. Shook people pretty hard at my company as many used to hang out with him.
Wear a helmet.
