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.

MODERATORS
Racing is fundamentally incompatible with safety. I'd like to see racing replaced with something like cooperative touring, where you compete to commute the most people the greatest distance along the most interesting routes with the least number of injuries and impact on the environment and surrounding communities.
90% of cyclists are irresponsible stupid dumb motherfuckers and I say that as a decade-long bicycle commuter. I hate most of them just as much as motorists hate them.
