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.

Granted you'd need a spaceship to access most of it, but the option is there.

I usually just toss them into the grass or the on street parking shoulder if I'm feeling extra salty. Saw one guy toss one on a public trash can once, funny in person.

But chucking them out of the solar system? I like that idea. Anyone got the phone number for NASA?
