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.

Really feels like the MSM is doing it's best to attack ebikes lately.

I agree, it's never been a problem in my city. They should do an article on people wearing all dark/black clothing at night. Almost invisible to other drivers/bikers. Luckily, light vests appear to be catching on for both runners and dog walkers when traversing the pitch black at 17:30.

Yeah, part of it might be due to competing interests (ad dollars from car companies) and part of is they like to sensationalize a lot to try and drive up viewership.
