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.

it's cool?

Y'know what? 'it's cool' is a good argument. This thing is totally not for me, but I've got plenty of other useless crap that I love because I just think it's cool, so you do you! Enjoy it.
