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 US countryside isn't nearly as dangerous as the outskirts of US cities. That's where I drive. I wish I could bike it. Too many memorial bicycles on the sides of the road.

It's tough everywhere I guess. Countryside is quiet, but there's no shoulder in some curvy spots, and some drivers didn't want to wait to pass.
