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.

Road design to impede traffic so the police can better apprehend people is the most dystopian thing I’ve heard of.
Tell me it’s not real.
Oh, its far worse than that. None of that needs to happen. Mass surveillance will just track people anywhere they go and police will apprehend them when they have to sleep. The UK already has one of the largest surveillance networks of any country.
