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.

Our mission is to make the skies available for everyone with our safe personal electric aerial vehicle.

NO. PLEASE DON'T.

I don't trust people in vehicles that are grounded to the road and don't have propellers 360 around them. There's no way in hell I want to see these anywhere near public spaces.

But they are cool. No doubt about that. Keep these in Dakar or the Mojave Desert.

They would have to be automated, that or people would have to become pilots with all the rules and regulations that brings.

For real. If a 1lb drone needs extensive licencing, God knows what kind of insurance and training would be required for these.
