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.

That's my point, I don't see why a hubless wheeled bike deserves top billing in an article about new better biking consepts.

It doesn’t but it looks cool and intrigues people which means more clicks.
