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.

Tried a demo pair at a conference. They felt heavier than my steel toes and weren't that fast for how much energy is put into even using them. They are mostly marketing towards large warehouse use for employees who aren't carrying product but need to be mobile for other reasons.
