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.

the same concepts that apply to motorcycles apply to bicycles

100%! My acoustic bike riding style changed for the better after training for and obtaining my motorcycle license, and that same training provides me better situational awareness on my ebike. Because at the end of the day, automobiles are basically always out to get two-wheelers. And defensive riding pays dividends by simply not having a crash. That's an invaluable benefit, I would say.
