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'm pretty sure not all the Rad Power batteries are problematic, e.g. 1. they post in that article the part number of the problematic ones. and 2. I know at least 2 people who have RP's and those bikes haven't exploded into flames, at least not yet.
And? Rad bikes is saying replacing just the bad batteries they sold that have caused fires will drive their company into bankruptcy. If doing the bare minimuim causes your company to fail, then so be it.
