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.

Bike computers pre-date smart devices, but if I get in a crash I'd rather have my phone in my pocket than attached to my bike and possibly destroyed.

A bike computer is also smaller, lighter, uses way less power, is cheaper, and you don't really have to manage it like you do a phone (i.e. take your phone out, start up the app, mount it, make sure you don't run out of battery or you can't navigate or communicate).
