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 second this suggestion: OP will very much want a full face helmet. Bicycle helmets have a general design requirement to keep bicyclists cooled by the wind to stay comfortable, which is why they usually don't go down to cover the chin.
But motorbikes and scooters don't have that requirement and instead have to deal with too much wind at higher speeds, in addition to greater risk of neck rotation upon ground contact.
