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.

Fair enough. Where I'm at on the Gulf Coast in the USA, there's like absolutely nowhere to park bikes outside, other than trying to find a sign or a pole or tree that's out of the way to lock it up to.
And even then, you wouldn't want to lock an ebike up overnight outside, someone eventually will come along and cut the lock and steal it. ☹️
