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.

We can care about both.
Sidewalks need to be safe. Personal mobility devices need a safe area to drive, separated from pedestrians. Both need to be separated from cars. The endgame should be car-free cities.
In the meantime, nobody should be hurt or killed just because they're trying to get around town.
