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.

Seriously? A noisy filthy combustion scooter? These things are the scourge of cities across the world.

Very, very bad take.

PS: apparently lots of Americans here - more proof of how far behind the times you guys are! Outside North America, these things are NOT "progress". We're trying to get rid of them. In Paris they're jacking up the parking rates for them. In many big Chinese cities they're now BANNED outright. And the difference it makes to urban quality of life is palpable. Jesus. At first I thought this post was a joke. Very sad.
