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 know this. I used to ride. Got hit by a car swiping three lanes across traffic. They didn't care to look. My head whacked the pavement hard. Got road rash and a concussion. The helmet saved my life though.
Weirdly had PTSD after trying to ride again and dropped it like a bad habit. Helmets save lives, on bicycles too y'all. Just shocking to see how many folks on both motorcycles and bicycles that don't wear a helmet.
You kidding me? Not weird to have PTSD at all. Your conscious brain might have shrugged it off but your body remembers the whole "I could have died" feeling.
Yeah, that's a common experience after bad motorcycle crashes. Glad you're still with us!
Thank you! very appreciative to be alive!
