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.

I see these every time a bicycle path intersects with any kind of car or train infrastructure. It just seems really patronizing, as if we're not capable of slowing down without getting off the bike; it also shifts responsibility onto the cyclists if there is a crash based on something arbitrary (mounted vs dismounted).

Makita is what my family uses. A bit cheaper than Milwaukee and has served my family very well.

It's crazy that Makita is now cheaper given they used to be the premium option.

Milwaukee absolutely ate their lunch in the last 10 years with the amount of places that sell them though.
