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 worked in TV & film, and expert cinematographers are highly aware just how much your brain will fill in blanks and fix logical inconsistencies. I've done some consumer qual testing on video quality as well, and it's always amazed me how bad video needs to be before viewers are yanked out of the story due to quality or image problems. It might be this phenomenon more than people not giving a shit. Side note: It's one of the many reasons 3D video has failed to catch on multiple times; bad 3D is much more jarring and uncomfortable than bad 2D.
