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.

Definitely true to life.

That said, I'm not a big fan of this humor: making fun of people who maintain an active lifestyle despite struggling with weight issues? At least they're trying!

And yes, I'm in this picture, although I don't dress up for the Giro d'Italia when riding my bike. It's just my main mode of transportation during most of the year.

What a dumb comment. Proper equipment is very important for pretty much any sport and very much so for cycling. If you've ever been on a ride for more than an hour you'll understand exactly what those are for.

Buddy, going to the grocery store isn't a sport, and nobody needs to wear spandex to do it. If you do sports on your bike that's great, but other people don't have to.

I was in no way implying that anyone should wear spandex. I'm just saying it's dumb to make fun of people who do.
