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.

seattle here. they're everywhere, blocking sidewalks and left in driveways and parks. it's ridiculous, they lay around for days until their owner company picks them up, charges them back up and starts the cycle of stupid all over again.

and the only people I ever see using them? Kids too young to have credit cards, and too dumb to wear helmets.
