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.

I run tubeless on my mountain bike, and tubes on my city bike. Tubeless seals punctures way better, but requires a bit more upkeep in the form of new fluid. In the city, my city bike stays mostly on asphalt, so there's little risk of thorns, roots, or rocks.
I still prefer tubeless, though. I'd probably have had 3-4 popped tubes by now, judging by coagulated tubeless fluid on the tread of my MTB tires.
I use FlatOut in my tubes still lol
