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.

My ex wife was in one of those 1 in 1 million accidents where wearing a seatbelt would have done more damage than not wearing it. Now she never wears her seatbelt because "a doctor" once said in her particular one off experience he was glad she wasn't wearing one. SMH. I tried to explain how wearing a seatbelt is safer in almost every other account, but she doesn't listen. It's just a matter of time till my son doesn't have a mother anymore.
