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've had a hell of a time finding a place that even offers fits: 4 different shops and none of them would do it (it was even listed on the website as a service but they said the person who could do it left). Mostly just been figuring it out myself over the years. I ended up getting an adjustable stem on my regular bike and my folding bikes are pretty adjustable.
