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.

You get a lawyer if you want someone prosecuted. Cops don't do anything, will usually just shrug, or even make it worse.

They're only good for paperwork. If they feel like doing that.

Yes, and that essentially means that if you're too poor to afford a lawyer, you essentially have no rights, since the state won't protect them.

Land of the FREE! You're free of rights and free to go fuck yourself.
