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 was going to go with "that's cute."

The system in the US has been broken for a long time and it's so obvious now. Anyone who thinks letters or logic are going to work are delusional.

This is one letter from one industry, but perhaps it can matter as part of chorus of similar messages from many industries. I’m glad they are trying. Better than silence.
