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.

Same with one wheels. Anytime I see someone on one of those, I feel like they are one moment from disaster.

I see those and just imagine how the slightest obstacle would make them faceplant at full speed. I hope they are careful.

The super fat tire handles potholes/etc really well really well apprently. People bunny hop them and go off short drops with no issue.
