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.

And now I'm arriving at my job, sweaty and exhausted. Now do it in the winter with 2' of snow.
It's always the most privileged looking, wealthy people telling us how easy it is to live car free.
I got my ebike in winter. If I took a car I would still need winter gear once I get out. Plus, I’m supposed to schedule exercise for myself in the day anyway - doing it on a bike just means I accomplish it in transit.
And if you're disabled fuck you!
Around half of disabled people can't drive, but everyone who can drive can use some kind of micro-mobility.
Even some who cannot drive can still use some sort of micromobility.
Hell, IMO, a powered wheelchair totally counts as micromobility.
