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.

In Amsterdam it's not the "more mature cycling culture", I wouldn't use Amsterdam and the word mature in the same sentence anyway.

It's that the predominant bike share service requires you to put the bike down at a station, attached to a parking spot, and that cars don't take up so much space that you can't put your bike down.

There are literal piles of cheap bikes all over Amsterdam. The canals are also full of them. What Amsterdam does not have is six lane downtown roads and infinite car parking.
