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.

There are ways to tackle those road-rats with cheap, fast motorbikes with throttle overrides, pretending to be e-bikes. This law ain't it, and everybody told them that would happen.

The only silver lining is other states will learn to tailor their laws more narrowly so they don't prevent grandparents from toodling around on their Class 2 bikes.
