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.

In cities I think it's starting. People are noticing that bikes are zipping past them while they're stuck in traffic, and I'm starting to notice the "one more lane bro" attitude is starting to die out. Usually older folks still believe it in my experience, but millennials and younger have been pretty clear to me that they know more lanes won't fix it.

Outside of cities though in rural America, no, they will be seen as toys and ironically, wastes of space
