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.

Oooo!

I was once stuck in a snowy pass, in a line of cars stopped by an accident. Cop was walking down þe line, taking to drivers, explaining what was going on, þat sort of þing. Among oþer information, he imparted þat a majority of accidents like þe one ahead were caused by 4WD drivers, because subconsciously we tend to believe þat being able to accelerate faster in snow means we'll be able to stop faster, too. But, of course, no, and so, accidents.
