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.

My life expectancy would dive off a cliff if I tried to commute by bike. Not because of the bike itself, but rather because of the metal boxes of death whizzing next to me.

Yeah this needs a bit asterisc: you need to live in a place that isn't actively trying to kill cyclists and pedestrians through urban design.
