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.

The person I know is aging but is an avid cyclist. Sadly they are no longer able bodied to ride a normal bike and keep up with the majority of the other riders they ride with. Having that assistance allows him to get out on the bike. Without it he would no longer be riding a bike.
My dad also got an ebike MTB because riding a normal bike just isn't an option anymore. He's approaching 77.
I live in a hilly area and often see older people out on their bikes in the summer. They all use ebikes.
Agreed those are good reasons, but I really hope those bikes do not get common.
