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.

One other thought: in hitch terminology, "tongue weight" is how much weight can be borne straight down on the installed hitch receiver. For hauling bikes, this is an important limit, since all the weight of the bike acts directly down upon the hitch receiver.
So if your car has, say, a 200 lbs (90 kg) tongue weight limit, your bike carrier and your bike must not exceed this limit. Ideally staying under by a comfortable margin. The hitch receiver might have its own tongue weight limit, possibly higher than the car's limit written in the manual, but you always use the smaller number.
