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 think my town has gotten its first bike lane. Its like you go anywhere past the borders the the town their are lanes but you hit ours and they disappear and you get these bike route signs (believe that was a minimum thing they had to do under state law). Its been a complaint for so long but this thing is the road does not really connect with anything. It was resurfaced and I would not be surprised if it was a state requirement if they resurface or something. I hope so as maybe then we will see more.
