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.

This might be one of those Critical Mass ride or similar smaller event in that particular area.

Also stop sign is stupid. Some place treat stop sign as a yield sign, and some place allow people on bicycle/micromobile to treat stop sign as yield sign.

Critical Mass is bicycles, not assorted motorized art vehicles. It has a specific protest/advocacy goal of demonstrating the need for bicycle infrastructure that using a bunch of other sorts of vehicles (especially 4-wheeled ones) doesn't really serve.

This is closer to something like ATL Bike Life (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndh7s4LMNd0, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlJAySvoH9M). Not the same, to be sure, but closer.

Yup, Idaho stop, my state just legalized it this year and Colorado, where this seems to be, also has it. I just copied the title of the original post and I interpreted it as sarcastic anyway.

In Malaysia we call it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
