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.

Ideally there's a way to lock it down from the inside. A bar through the back wheel(s) or something.

But then they might lock you down inside!

You can do this with anything in life, ever, though.

An example being, "A stationary house? But what if the river rises? How will I move my home away from it?"

You'd have to shrink-wrap more than 84,500 buildings in the US by 2050 if you want to compete with ocean-level rise from climate change. Warning; pdf link.

My comment talked about rivers rising, but you said the ocean, so I went with the ocean for my reply.
