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.

the fact that it went in the pannier rather than on the rack, despite being one of the exact shapes racks are specifically designed for, hurts

You are 100% right. However, I had forgotten my cargo net / straps at home in my other pannier bag. So I had to improvise. What would you have me do, not get the cargo?
