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 my area, new construction has the "wave" style -- which is basically the U shape but with more loops -- to satisfy the minimum 2 bicycle parking from the latest California Building Code. In the public right of way, I see a lot of U shapes, but they're sometimes oriented the "wrong" way for getting two bikes parked.
That is, the U shape is oriented along the sidewalk, meaning that two bikes parked would have to be perpendicular to the road, extending into the sidewalk. Whereas if they turned the U shape so it's visible up or down the road, then bikes could park parallel to the sidewalk, avoiding conflict.
